POLITICAL: Survival, as an end, confuses political purpose. For example, U.S. leaders had to try to explain the Korean war as a challenge to U.S. survival, with the result, says Ways, that "the public had no image of what the U.S. was trying to win," was thoroughly confused about objectives once the Reds were driven back across the 38th parallel. The Russians start with objectives that link both military and political planning and keep them closely coordinated. "We have whole categoric? of political objectives which our disordered ethics forbids us to defend by force...
...jams, unheard of a few years ago. But outside Addis Ababa, 90% of Ethiopia's people are illiterate farmers, some of whom still live in a barter economy where 2 Ibs. of hand-picked wild coffee will fetch one fingernail's worth of nail polish. As a result of these feudal economics, 180 million acres of the world's richest farm land lie fallow in Ethiopia, despite periodic famines and a growing trade deficit. Foreign aid at best merely sugarcoats Ethiopia's deep-seated economic woes...
Holes & Torsos. Even in its final form, the result would horrify a Michelangelo or, only 50 years ago, a Rodin. But today, Henry Moore's massive, pinheaded women with gaping holes in their torsos adorn public buildings or parks in a dozen cities and occupy places of honor in 53 museums over most of the world, including 14 in the U.S. At a recent showing in the small city of Galle, Ceylon, a crowd of 10,000 flocked to see his works in three days.

Corporate income taxes today trim the real cost of borrowing money by as much as one-half, with the result that the effective cost of borrowing money is still lower than at many other times in U.S. history. Moreover, a borrower who really needs the money is not likely to quibble about half a point...
...them objectionable on religious grounds far outweighed those who did object to them. (A warning: the poll defined opposition on religious grounds as "objectionable...because of beliefs about God's commandments." This excludes secular morality, on which grounds one would suspect many more would have objected.) The most surprising result of this question was the relatively small percentage of 38 which disapproved of extra-marital intercourse on religious grounds. A stunning total of 62 per cent did not disapprove on the basis of the seventh commandment. This was the largest percentage of disapproval on these questions; in no case...
