...benefits, such as money for telephones and Christmas gifts, so that life on welfare can more closely approximate life in the rest of America. Yet the welfare militants have more in mind than just getting a little more. By stretching the current system to its farthest limit, they reason, they will make it so expensive that the nation will have to search for an alternative...
Around the Stump. The reason for the delegates' decision at Fort Worth was summarized by Dr. E. S. James, editor emeritus of Texas' Baptist Standard. "The school is too fine an institution to let it die or stand idle while public-supported institutions smother it," he said.

It meant an approach to ideas, and specifically ideas as solutions to social problems. Intellectuals, of course, are idea-smiths by definition. Their livelihood and self-confidence depend on their ability to apply reason to problems. But in many ways, the ego-in-volvement of the participants was all too apparent at the conference. There were few questions asked and many speeches made. Lines of argument were rarely followed up. The participants sat while one would-be lecturer after another...
