...Soviet threat, Churchill became the architect of the century's great triumph over it. The twin victories over two great evils are this century's dominating achievements. Great movements still in progress--civil rights, gender equality, democratization, market capitalism--would be impossible, or at least retarded, in fascist or Marxist societies. It is beyond imagination what life would be like today had Churchill not lived, acted, written and spoken as he did. RICHARD M. LANGWORTH PRESIDENT Churchill Center Washington...

If religion taught faith and the mystery of the Causeless Cause (the ultimate secret, God), Newtonism located human intelligence in a cosmos of magnificently impassive reciprocities, celestial mechanics working by God's infinitely reliable and predictable cause and effect.

It could result in an Internet take on an old Marxist theme: When new media arrived to hang old media, the networks sold them the rope...
Instead, the Chinese communists brought Tibet a so-called liberation. These people were not implementing true Marxist policy. If they had been, national boundaries would not be important to them. They would have worried about helping humanity. Instead, the Chinese communists carried out aggression and suppression in Tibet. Whenever there was opposition, it was simply crushed. They started destroying monasteries and killing and arresting lamas...
