Labor's diminished spirit extends throughout the rank and file. Fewer and fewer young workers join unions because they want to or because they think they ought to; they join because, under company-union contracts, they have to in order to get jobs. In last week's U.A.W. walkouts, bored pickets paced perfunctorily, showing little of the zealot enthusiasm of the 1930s.

Replying to a writer who had argued that the U.S. ought to forget about Berlin and concentrate on broad social reforms as a way of winning the cold war, New York University's Philosophy Professor Sidney Hook said: "To imply that we can contain Communism by a more dynamic policy of social reform is like arguing that if England...
