Patriotism is just as important as ever. The problem is in defining it-and few definitions are so elusive. It consists of three distinct but interrelated emotions-love of country, pride in it, and desire to serve its best interests. The love is easily traced to man's natural affection for his particular home, language and customs. The word patriotism comes from pater, Greek for father, and means love for a fatherland. From the love flows pride: the firm belief that one's country is good and perhaps superior to all others-a pride not only...

Thirty-six nations have already agreed to hand over their pavilions to Montreal, and Mayor Jean Drapeau, the originator of Expo, is casting about for ways to make the island sites into a permanent summertime exhibit and tourist attraction. Among his envisioned lures: Buckminster Fuller's U.S. geodesic dome, converted into...
...good," he said, and proceeded to read from Lord Weary's Castle. By the time the action shifted to the Pentagon, Mailer was perky enough to get himself arrested by two marshals. "I transgressed a police line," he explained with some pride on the way to the lockup, where the toilet facilities are scarce indeed and the coffee mugs low-octane...
