Unfortunately, the perversion of our political life in the past was so profound that I personally am certain that our citizens are not yet mature. We Greeks have the weakness of act ing not only from logic but from emotion, and the politicians of the past must be cured of this weakness be fore they can help start a healthy process toward formation of political parties and the holding of elections. If we reach the point where fewer .politicians insult the revolution and where they accept their obligations as servants of the people, then perhaps we may have the opportunity...
...thwart a major new military push, allied forces were becoming engaged as never before with the "other war"-the U.S.-directed pacification effort. Under any compromise reached in Paris, the political loyalties of the 12,000 hamlets that dot South Viet Nam's countryside could have a profound effect on the future of the national government. With that in mind, President Nguyen Van Thieu last October launched a major drive to secure 1,120 new hamlets before the Tet holiday next February. Nearly half of all U.S. military operations are now launched in support of this political effort...
...believe in Christ has always been, as Kierkegaard put it, an inexplicable leap of faith. The most profound preacher of that mystery in the 20th century was Karl Barth, who died last week at the age of 82.

Though a critic of the Roman Catholic Church until Vatican II renewal, Barth had to concede that some of his most astute interpreters were Catholic theologians. He mixed profound spiritual insights with a wit that could be caustic or self-critical; a friend called him the only Swiss with a sense of humor. He was aggressively anti-Nazi, yet strangely unconcerned about Communist aggression. An ordained minister of the Reformed Church, he delivered his best sermons before those whom...
...byproduct of military nationalism. Do they make policy, or simply profit from it? In bringing the question of German culpability up to date, Manchester neglects to mention that most West Germans were born after 1933. Though they bear no guilt for the past, they show grave concern over the profound moral issues raised by the manufacture of weapons and their use in the world. Generally, they have concluded that where moral doubt exists, it is better to abstain from profit. Young Germans are among the world's least militaristic people - perhaps because they have been profoundly influenced...
