...exploiting the world's desire for peace in order to create pressure for a long or even permanent bombing pause. The Vatican weekly L'Osservatore della Domenica last week printed its harshest criticism yet of U.S. bombing policy, calling it a "blind alley" that undermines the U.S. "moral and political" position. Leaders of West Germany's Social Democratic Party urged Washington to end the bombing. Several U.S. Congressmen also called for a bombing pause and immediate negotiations, including Senator Robert Kennedy. "It seems to me we lose nothing if we sit down to negotiate," he said...
...Moral Crises. The majority of U.S. Christians are not yet prepared to worship in tents, and many American churches, in city as well as suburb, are hardly big enough to accommodate their regular crowds of Sunday worshipers. Moreover, plenty of churchmen see no conflict between service to man and obeisance to God. "I do not believe that not building a cathedral is going to solve the problems of the ghettos," says Georgia Baptist Layman C. H. Lampin. "On that philosophy nothing beautiful would ever be created at any cost." Even Urbanologist Daniel Moynihan deplored Bishop Donegan's decision...

"You want to know," he asks a sergeant at the induction center, "if I'm moral enough to join the Army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after being a litterbug...
Mortimer Adler, the philosopher and dialectician who heads Chicago's Institute for Philosophical Research, argues that the matter is far from merely academic. If man is not basically different from the animals, that would undermine "those who now oppose injurious discrimination on the moral ground that all human beings, being equal in their humanity, should be treated equally." Inferior types might be looked upon as man now looks on inferior animals. A large measure of truth could be read into one of Hitler's Nürnberg decrees that held "there is a greater difference between the lowest...
