...Palafox Seminary, before an audience of bishops, 6,500 miles from St. Peter's, John Paul delivered a 5,000-word speech that may mark the entire course of his papacy. The text was designed to strip away any ambiguity over future papal social policy. From Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum (1891) to John XXIII's Mater et Magistra (1961), papal encyclicals have rejected both the "unregulated competition" of laissez-faire capitalism and Marxism's class struggle with its elimination of private property. However, in his 1967 encyclical Populorum Progressio, Paul VI allowed for revolutions...
Last week came the biggest blow: Trainer Laz Barrera pulled Cauthen off Affirmed, the horse he rode to the Triple Crown last year. Horsemen do not show slumping jockeys quite the paternal support that Leo Durocher, manager of the old New York Giants, gave a weeping rookie named Willie Mays after he had gone 1 for 26 in his major league debut ("Tomorrow's another day, kid, and you're going to be playing centerfield tomorrow").

To underscore the point, and to illustrate how threatening this music once seemed, Leo and Solt include some...

If you bring liquor into the high schools it gets down to the junior highs and even elementary school kids," he added...
...still clamor to own just about everything they can possibly imagine. Cars, homes, Cuisinarts, video-cassette recorders--and if you can't afford it, then you simply buy it on credit, borrow money, get a loan, try our EZ Payment plan, Master Charge it, put it on the tab, Leo--anything. It seems the inevitable extension of the consumer age. The old Puritan Ethic might have built this place, but it's the old play-now, pay-whenever attitude that keeps everything running. It's all very pleasant. New cars wall-to-wall, French-blended food, and Mork and Mindy...
