...jargon in Castro's speeches and in his captive press these days is increasingly Marxist. Aureliano Sanchez Arango, 53, a former Minister of State of Cuba and one of the early fighters against ex-Dictator Fulgencio Batista, charges that "while Castro had ideas, he had no program; the Communists gave him the program."

Yet this is art not as communication but as excommunication, a barrier defining the unbridgeable distance between the rulers' unlimited power and the cowed abasement...
...sick to my stomach." THEOLOGIANS: "Many influential theologians of our day have moved from the ruins of a devastated Europe to the libraries of the theological schools and have carried defeatism into these sacred precincts-locking themselves up in their little cells with their egos, their textbooks, their jargon and their pessimism." Spiritual Ovaltine. Son of a lay preacher who settled in California, Kennedy was born in Benzonia, Mich.
