...three-man commission chosen to investigate the charges against Bernhard, who denies them, has made no report. Few would be surprised if the commission neither confirmed nor denied the allegations. After some initial restraint, the leftist press is hitting the Prince hard. The most venomous attack to date came last week from Communist Journalist Wim Klinkenberg, who charged that Bernhard had been a member of Hitler's SS. European gossip sheets have also been full of reports about his friendship with French Socialite Helene ("Poupette") Grinda, 32. There is no proof for any of these charges or innuendos...
...liberties, restraining the former and preserving the latter. But this is precisely what I could not grant him in the review (stated in my terms). In a society which justifies itself in terms of opportunity and mobility, we cannot restrain social groups in their economic demands--and historically "restraint" under corporate capitalism means sacrifices mainly borne by the working class--without restraining them politically. This would entail, in practice, vastly curtailing the power of the labor unions and suppressing the protest movements which would necessarily arise from such enforced "restraint...
...Professor Bell who does not advocate this solution outright, then has only one alternative: he postulates the creation of a new culture (the old one, he says, has run its dissolute course) which may differentiate between the "sacred" and the "profane." The growth of a culture of restraint, as opposed to one of hedonism, might well avoid the need for an end to the political freedom we have known: social groups would moderate their own economic demands, making political repression superfluous. But the creation of such a culture out of whole cloth--against the traditions created by a more...
...hedonism, the individualistic legacy of John Stuart Mill must be traded in for the approach of the principled conservatives, Burke and Tocqueville. Enlightened economic self-interest is no longer a sufficient rationale for the continuation of capitalism: the masses must now be provided with a new "liberal" philosophy justifying restraint in the national interest, lest a more extreme ideology of the Right or Left takes advantage of popular anger and destroys liberal freedoms and society altogether...
...Association announced its first national code of ethics in 1908. Originally, the ad ban was intended to help restore dignity to the legal profession, which had been badly tattered by attorneys who put up large billboards or even hawked their services on the open streets with all the restraint of a snake-oil salesman. The prohibition on promotion never came under broad assault until the past year, when it was attacked by consumer groups, Government trustbusters and even some lawyers. So at the A.B.A.'s midyear meeting in Philadelphia last week, advertising-which was not even on the agenda...
