...considerations of beauty and sentiment but also by growing knowledge of the possibly disastrous consequences of unthinking intervention. The need for their expert opinions is being increasingly felt in Congress, the regulatory agencies and corporations, giving them an influence that promises to match or surpass that of the outspoken atomic scientists...
...GEORGE McGOVERN. The South Dakota Senator seems considerably less than galvanic, but in his brief bid for the nomination last summer as a stand-in for Robert Kennedy, it was clear that he was gifted with more outspoken political courage than either Muskie or Ted Kennedy. (He was one of the first Senators, for one thing, to oppose the Viet Nam war-in 1963.) He might yet find an impressive constituency among the young, this time as the substitute for another Kennedy. His appeal to the middle and right of the party, however, would almost certainly be small...
...Only the date changes; even the Indian looks the same. Yet through the decades there has been a perceptible alteration. The public, riding along in movie houses or taking the TV shortcut, has watched the celluloid Wayne pass through three stages of life.

Last May the cardinal changed his tactics. He gave an interview to a French Catholic magazine, Informations Catholiques Internationales, which was quickly published in five other languages. It was perhaps the most encyclopedic...
...almost anything, so long as he finds a supervisor who takes him seriously. He may discover that there is no shock value at all in a "sweeping cross-disciplinary plan of his own design." Unfortunately or fortunately for him, Oxford has an amazing ability to absorb the most outspoken of the outspoken. Balliol especially has an insidious way of inculcating the quality that is for Magaziner's (and my) generation the least understood and least valued of virtues-humility...
