FIRST there was Kate Millett-just a year ago. The Karl Marx of the New Feminism, they all said. She was bright (a professor, yet) and scholarly, but, the reviewers also said, she was too masculine. Then Norman Mailer came along and told us she misquoted Miller, and what's more mysticism is groovy, and everyone cooled off on Millett, although Mailer left a lot more to be desired. And now there's Germaine Greet- "Saucy Feminist That Even Men Like," says Life magazine. Well, maybe...
Niebuhr's theology was often called an American version of Karl Earth's neo-orthodoxy, but Niebuhr was very much an American original. He himself criticized Barth for being too controlled by the Bible and so far above the social tumult that he fostered "eschatological irresponsibility." For the past four decades, Niebuhr has been preeminent in his field, the greatest Protestant theologian born in America since Jonathan Edwards. Last week Niebuhr died at 78 in Stockbridge, Mass., the same town where Edwards once lived in exile-banished for his too-demanding theology. The funeral was held...
Died. György Lukács, 86, Communist theoretician; in Budapest. Though often called "the greatest Marxist since Karl Marx," the courtly ideologist still managed to offend both Lenin and Stalin. Lukacs eloquently criticized the rigidity of Soviet doctrine, then, while in exile in Moscow, was forced by Stalin to denounce his own early works. He survived periodic purges to join in the chorus of denunciation later directed against Stalin. A champion of such Communist heresies as pluralism and literary freedom, Lukács took part in the 1956 Hungarian uprising. He managed to avoid punishment and resumed...
Meticulous Design. The first radio telescope, a crude antenna that turned on wheels cannibalized from a Model T Ford, was made 40 years ago by a Bell Labs scientist named Karl Jansky. In contrast, the new German instrument is a model of engineering sophistication. The entire telescope can be rotated a full 360° on a circular railroad-type track in only nine minutes. Its plate-and-mesh reflector can be tilted 90° from a point directly overhead to the horizon in only half that time. Furthermore, the telescope has been so meticulously designed that the stresses caused...
...Brandt's house in the Venusberg section of Bonn, Foreign Minister Walter Scheel argued that a floating mark would foul up the Common Market's system of farm price supports, which assumes set relationships between the currencies of the Market's six member nations. Bundesbank President Karl Klasen contended that Germany should instead clamp on tight exchange controls in order to stop the inflow of unwanted dollars. The government could, for example, forbid citizens to borrow abroad and order commercial banks not to pay interest on dollar deposits...
