Because of its location in the temple of the Brahmins, WGBH is top-heavy with free talent. Recent shows included lectures by Pastor Martin Niemöller, Novelist Edwin (The Last Hurrah) O'Connor, Author-Ethnologist Oliver La Farge and Ambassador James B. Conant. British Labor Boss Hugh Gaitskell's three Harvard lectures on foreign policy were carried in full. Drama Critic Walter Kerr discussed contemporary theater with Playwright Arthur Miller. Harvard Law Professor Zechariah Chafee Jr. completed a 16-part series on the Constitution and human rights only a week before his death (TIME...
First, one must see that fat is sin ("We fatties are the only people on earth who can weigh our sin").

They wanted to express that there was something in man which was both intangible and beyond the grasp of reason-like the wind...
Beyond the War. The howling wind of Hitler and Hitler's war blows the friendly enemies apart. When the two men meet just before war's end, both are less doctrinaire, though the pastor has been clapped into prison for calling Hitler the Antichrist. Convinced that postwar Germany will most need men like the pastor, the psychiatrist lays down his life so that the pastor may live. In humility, the pastor tacitly acknowledges this sacrifice as the act of a greater Christian than himself...
