Packaging v. Product. A similar demand for doctrinal caution is voiced by Pike in his recent A Time for Christian Candor. He argues that the church keeps the treasure of its revelation in "earthly vessels," and that it is idolatry to accept as eternally true what is only historically conditioned. He suggests that Christianity abandon the notion of the Trinity, which has now become a pagan tritheism instead of what the church fathers intended to say. To avoid confusion of the "packaging" with the "product," Pike would do away with all spatial images of God, everything that suggests a distinction...
...leaders also intend to follow Khrushchev by continuing the move toward a more market-oriented economy, letting consumer demand rather than a bureaucrat's plan dictate product design and quantity. By next year, Kosygin reported, one-third of all consumer-goods plants will make the changeover. Some day the Russians may even be able to afford to be consumers: Kosygin got his loudest applause when he unveiled a round of wage increases for next month...
...problems are as monumental as ever. Galloping population growth threatens to wipe out the hemisphere's slim, hard-won gains in housing, education, health, and food production.

The consensus of economists is that the gross national product, which rose 6.7% this year, is due for an advance of some 5% next year, to $655 billion. While that might seem satisfactory, it would neither significantly increase corporate profits nor reduce unemployment...
...paintings like any other merchandise, and for demanding from the artist the kinds of paintings that are easiest and most profitable to sell. Perhaps the dealers deserve at least part of his criticism. But his idea that considering paintings in terms of dollars and cents is both a special product and a leading cause of contemporary art falls flat. He overestimates his forebears. When an Italian dramatist named Guiseppe Giacosa visited the United States in 1898, he proclaimed that "the primative measurement of works of art in terms of dollars and cents in the United States leaves me with...
