...reply ruefully that because I am a Catholic, I cannot afford to be less than an artist." What she did was make literature her highest office by accepting the Thomist dictum: "The good of an art is to be found, not in the craftsman, but in the product of the art" "The fiction writer," she observed, "writes for the good of what he is writing. Yet what is good in itself glorifies God because it reflects...
...effect on the working poet. Though Coleridge claimed that Kubla Khan sprang to his mind full-fledged from a dream -and is a fragment only because a tradesman interrupted him while he was writing it down-Miss Hayter is unimpressed.

But she insists that his dreams usually were "disappointingly dull," and suggests that much hard polishing must have gone into the poem after Coleridge woke up. Coleridge generally had chronic difficulty finishing his major poetic and critical works. The last...
...N.I.C.B. figures that U.S. production, which has increased an average 3% annually for the whole 20th century but rose to 4.5% during the '60s, will continue to grow by 4.5% a year during the '70s.

Nordek will introduce a third grouping into the European economic picture. With a population of 21 million and a combined gross national product of $50 billion, the four countries already constitute the European Common Market's second largest customer after the U.S. Under Nordek, they will remain in the seven-member European Free Trade Association,* through which four-fifths of intra-Scandinavian trade currently passes duty-free. They plan to establish a customs union that will free all trade among Nordic countries and enact common external tariffs against non-EFTA members. Most important, they will work toward closer economic...
