Your associate editor's report on the Dominican Republic [May 25] is insulting to my country and unfactual and contradictory in its appraisal of the progress that we have achieved without any foreign help. Mr. Daniels must have spent his three days in my country soaked in Dominican rum and blinded by the tropical sun if he didn't see the many large beautiful public schools, the big modern hospitals, the new university city, the newly constructed and well-paved roads, the ports, and the hundreds upon hundreds of public facilities built by my government...
...Hampshire's early-bird presidential primary. Was he upset by the plan? "Well." said Nelson Rockefeller, "I was upset about a lot of things in the beginning-but I've got used to them now." Reminded that once he is entered in New Hampshire, he must either run or positively forbid the use of his name, Rockefeller replied with a broad grin: "I'll have to make a mental note of that...

Yet the orthodox often talk as though the death of the soul would trivialize or vitiate the worth of life altogether. Quite to the contrary, must be the nonbeliever's reply: eternity is only "shortened," as it were--the fate of one's soul, one's hopes for "eternal happiness," for salvation, in short, remain at least as intense and pressing and imperative as ever. It's just that now we only have one world to work...
