Never in English. God is, of course, still in the theological vocabulary-except perhaps to some followers of Paul Tillich who prefer the phrase "Ground of Being." Tillich has provided a whole glossary of terms for modern theological table talk, including "religious atheism"; many more come from such equally fertile German word-coiners as Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Whenever possible, theological jargon words are used in their German form. Heilsgeschichte, for example, is more learned than salvation history, and it is definitely one up to say Angst instead of anxiety or Wissenschaft instead of discipline. Says...
...policies. Author Eisenhower, however, mentions Hughes not at all in this connection. Several groups were batting the idea around at the time, says Ike, and he gives most of the credit to Adviser C. D. Jackson. Hughes he later dismisses as "a writer with a talent for phrase-making." Ike takes due note of his own famed talent for non-phrase-making, but feels that by "focusing on ideas rather than on phrasing, I was able to avoid causing the nation a serious setback through anything I said in many hours, over eight years, of intensive questioning...

He was always ready to give an interviewer a phrase that would catch headlines, and to send progress reports on his agency to 600 business leaders who had never inquired about his progress in the first place. Now Ogilvy is 52, his reputation made, his agency secure with 19 clients and $55 million in annual billings. "I can only plead...
...that the number of State Department employees had increased more than sixfold in two decades, he found a ready analogy in the case of the potato farmer who doubles and redoubles his labor force as harvesting conditions become more and more difficult. The "potato syllogism," in McLandress' homely phrase, argues that the ever-increasing complexity of U.S. foreign problems leads inevitably to a proliferation of policymakers, who proportionately take more and more time to reach agreement that the present policy is correct. The need for "effective acceleration of the decision-making process" eventually becomes so urgent that McLandress...
