...have the divided Hindu and Moslem states not been able to maintain a separate peace? Gandhi always thought that a common thread of Indian-ness would somehow hold the two together. But the explosion of Hindu-Moslem hatred after partition was enough to poison a whole generation of Indians and Pakistanis. In the meantime, a new generation has grown up on both sides-one that does not even remember the days not so long ago when all thought of themselves as Indians...
...that many of their reforms would lead not to a radicalization of the Church--that is, more power over the Church by individual Catholics and greater Church concern for problems of war, poverty and powerlessness--but rather to what Hitch cock tellingly calls "spiritual sub-urbanization." The radical spiritual ness of the Church is very much outside of the mainstream of American pragmatism with its emphasis on GNP and incentive systems.

Aggressive Ideal. Learson, whose present yacht is named Nepenthe (says he: "She's the Greek goddess who induces a pleasurable sensation of forgetful-ness"), went to work as a salesman for IBM immediately after graduating from Harvard in 1935.

When the laws tumbled down upon the state, there would be no standing in the door, no fire hoses or dogs. There were exceptions, such as Lester Maddox brandishing his pistol and pick handle in front of his fried...
...society as heterogeneous and individualistic as the U.S. probably cannot rally most of its people behind a national economic goal in the Japanese sense. But Japan has shown that busi ness and government do not have to consider each other as adversaries, as they often do in the U.S. Though the U.S. certainly should not cartelize its industry Japanese-style, Japan's success might stimulate some thinking in Washington as to whether the antitrust laws should be liberalized to promote the nation's competitiveness in world markets...
