Garaudy views history with a certain kind of Europe-centered myopia. Ignoring the dynamism of Western democracy, he insists that the two major forces in the world today are Christianity and Communism, and that they must work together to prevent the destruction of mankind in nuclear war. "It would be a tragedy of history," Garaudy writes, "if their cooperation for the common construction of the future were frustrated by the weight of the past...
...abusable enough in the hands of proper and responsible police authorities," says Washington Lawyer Ronald Goldfarb, author of Ransom, a new study of bail problems. "The same powers in the hands of bondsmen are shocking and frightening." Bondsmen argue that they need their special privileges in order to prevent wholesale bond jumping and to keep their fees within the grasp of the average prisoner.* But in view of the present Supreme Court's concern for the rights of accused, the whole subject is likely to be retested...

It would prevent the plane from veering out of control to the right or left. Pulled outward by centrifugal force and downward by gravity, a fast-rolling plane would be confined to a circular path high against the outer, steeply sloping part of the runway. As its speed decreased, centrifugal force would lessen, and gravity would...

If bankers responded to a fall-off in sayings by raising interest rates, that would not tempt penniless people to save more?but it would move hard-pressed industrialists to borrow less for capital investment. Yet Keynes did not despair of capitalism...
