...liberal wing of the Democratic Party. Editor Stephen Schlesinger, 29, admits to no clairvoyance in foreseeing Edmund Muskie's fall and the rise of George McGovern-only partisanship.* Schlesinger, the son of Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., founded the magazine in 1970 as a podium from which to preach party reform and "call attention to the dead leadership...
...Nyerere said in 1966. "But what I cannot understand is the policy based on the idea that one way of assuring world peace is to ostracize China. This yellow disease!" (Richard Nixon would now agree.) As for Communism, Nyerere wonders: "What is its application to Africa? How do you preach it in Sukumaland [a district of Tanzania]? In a peasant country, without feudalism, how do you do it? From a distance, Africa may look like a classical Communist situation. But, in reality, it's a Sukumaland situation...
Ironically, Daly, and to some extent Ruether, seem to be practicing what they preach against: gender stereotyping. They do not seem to recognize that power could possibly corrupt women, just as it has men. Many theologians would also reject Mary Daly's dismissal of the uniqueness of Jesus Christ.

But there is no reason that Jesus and his Apostles could not represent feminine aspirations in their...
EDMUND MUSKIE. If he has any new approaches to the issues, he is keeping them to himself. He is asking voters to have confidence in him-and confidence he projects. Slightly aloof and uncomfortable in large crowds, he tends to preach a bit. He also has a way of losing his temper, as in New Hampshire recently when a high school student popped him a question that seemed to come straight out of the McGovern camp. But Muskie knows how to mix it up with the folks without losing his dignity. His fondness for puns, funny or not, adds some...
...Binh puts two David Copperfield kids in the middle of Vietnam horrors. It's a slight piece of social history. But it is accurate, emotionally powerful, and if it didn't preach pacifism in a Have-Have Not war, it would come very close to non-partisanship. The film's power is in the eye of Raoul Coutard, who here debuts as writer-director. American soldiers freeze in grotesque command postures. A theater explodes and its audience flees, losing intestines en route. Slum kids piss on a child-exploiting businesswoman's car. The connecting tissue doesn't equal the fragments...
