...black Mercedes, always accompanied by a cheerleader who helped with the applause. She was usually clad in a blue sari (her party color), and spoke from platforms adorned with a picture of her husband, the late Prime Minister Solomon West Ridgeway Dias Bandaranaike, who was assassinated by a Buddhist monk in 1959. Though she no longer wept in public when recalling her husband, Madame was still campaigning in his memory, promising to follow his policies, which "stood for the middle path in politics."

In his 24 years as a member of Kentucky's Abbey of Gethsemani, he has built a seven-storey mountain of poems, autobiography, reflection and translation that attests to his continuing concern for mankind at large. In this collection of essays and letters, Merton punctures the white liberal's complacent participation in the civil rights movement as a kind of self-indulgence that is of "no interest to the Negro." In his view, what...
