Torn between conflicting philosophies, the student may turn away from Judaism completely; or he may come back to it with new intellectual tools, seeking to mold a familiar image. "Some people think that Judaism becomes more respectable when it wears the cloak of popular philosophies," Rabbi Gold said.

It is a relic of the greatest moment in Greek art, when the archaic mold, adapted mainly from Egypt, began turning into the tender naturalism of the classical...

Key man, as Minister of Economics, was Alvaro Alsogaray, 46, a tough, bouncy free enterpriser in the Ludwig Erhard mold. Said he to Frondizi: "I will carry out your austerity plan, but with my own methods and my own team...
