...defensively: "Ah ha! You see, those sanctimonious Asians are just as ugly, prejudiced and hateful as we Americans are!" One wonders whether the American Negro of Selma, Ala., would fully agree with your sweeping judgment that "America's problems are subject to a system of social and legal redress." At best it has been a spotty "system," hundreds of years in coming. There is little pride, and small comfort, in trumpeting with such profundity that other nations' "backyards" are as filled with human hate and discrimination as is ours...
Harvard's overzealousness has surprised some officials, who had originally feared that Radcliffe's dining halls would owe Harvard's dining halls large sums to redress the imbalance. The March figures indicate that Harvard owes Radcliffe about...
...simple-hatred among peoples, classes, races. The U.S. is deeply and rightly troubled by its own problems of racial discrimination. They are mild compared with Asia's endemic and murderous grudges, and America's problems are subject to a system of social and legal redress that, tragically, most of Asia lacks.

These are some of the passions that years ago were described by Andr...

A doubting world has long since been convinced of the determination of most West Germans to redress the evil of Nazidom. Nevertheless, a fear remains that many of Hitler's villains may go scot-free.* Under the German penal code, the statute of limitation for murder runs out after 20 years. That means that no further prosecution of Nazi killers can be instituted after May 8, 1965, or 20 years after...
