This sociological-psychological fact, thinks Teacher Goldstein, a nondenominational Protestant, has profound theological results. Insecure and anxious like most men, theologians (there has never been a woman theologian of note) tend to equate the restless self-concern that results from this state with sin, and to extol the opposite (feminine) qualities of quiet, self-surrendering passivity. Such theologians as Paul Tillich, Reinhold Niebuhr, Sweden's Anders Nygren and Israel's Martin Buber see man as estranged from himself and from God and filled with anxiety because of his estrangement; that anxiety, in their view, results in sins...
Supreme Justice. At week's end Ben-Gurion sent an emotional personal letter to Frondizi, apologizing for the "formal violation" and pleading for understanding of the "profound motivation and supreme moral justification of this act." But Eichmann would probably not go back; Israeli feeling against the Nazi murder expert runs so high that Ben-Gurion would scarcely dare to return him, even if he wanted to.

As McBrearty ex plained it, the two Electras were brought down by a combination of factors, none of which would have been enough to wreck the planes by itself. The basic flaw was that the support structure of the wing nacelles, holding the plane's turbo prop engines...
...Ambassador You Chan Yang showed up at the State Department one day last week in answer to a summons from Secretary Christian Herter. Thirty minutes later he emerged glumly. Within the hour. State Department Press Officer Lincoln White told reporters that Herter had expressed the U.S.'s "profound and growing concern" over 1) the highhanded suppression of political opposition by South Korea's 85-year-old President Syngman Rhee, 2) brutal Korean police action against student protest marchers, and 3) other "repressive measures unsuited to a free democracy." In Seoul, Ambassador Walter P. McConaughy made the U.S. point...
