What will most intimately affect Catholics is the fourth chapter, a discussion of major world problems, which follows the tone and spirit of Pope John's encyclicals, Mater et Magistra and Pacem in Terris. A section on economic and social order amplifies John's dream of humane socialization; it argues that "economic development must in no case be left entirely to itself," and "the earth's goods are the common inheritance of the whole human race." A section on peace warns that "the use of nuclear weapons must be judged before God and man as most wicked...
...necessity in order to finance his creative writing of poetry and criticism after a career at Cambridge as a reader in English under famed Critic F. R. Leavis. Now comfortably settled with his wife and three children in a 14th century cottage in a hamlet near his alma mater, Holbrook earns far more in royalties as an anthologizer and educational gadfly (total sales: 80,000 copies) than he ever did as a teacher or fiction writer...

The press, he said, was a mess...
...truths of Society as we see them," says Buckley. National Review has held that racial segregation is "not intrinsically immoral," and it opposed the civil rights bill on the grounds that it ceded to the White House "the powers of a despot." When Pope John XXIII, in his Mater et Magistra encyclical, seemed to be saying that a little socialism was not necessarily bad, Buckley, a Roman Catholic, attacked the encyclical as "a venture in triviality." He also objected to last summer's Freedom March on Washington: "Mob-deployment in circumstances that call for thought and discussion...
