...reason for this success is that student radicals have finally learned how to play upon liberal sensibilities to get what they want. They understand that the predominant ethic at American universities is liberal and humanitarian.

...Presbyterian minister, Caldwell, 64, has toured the rural Southern states every summer for the past three years, visiting revival meetings and churches. Though "rural camp-meetings have been replaced by brick-walled auditoriums and revival tents by rainproof sheds," he writes, the raucous rhythms of lined-out hymns and "the resounding babble of glossalalia" can still be heard-evidence that neither drive-in movies nor television has "diminished the appeal that uninhibited religious exhibitions have as popular entertainment."

The puns and purposeful ambiguities of the Chinese language are explored, illuminating the Red Guards' raucous wall posters. China's hostility toward the outside world is as old as the Chinese sense of superiority. As a result, in China's foreign policy, the nation's pride is always in conflict with its innate pragmatism. It should be no surprise, Bloodworm says, that...
