...Benn felt a bit manhandled, he did not say so. In fact he seemed almost to revel in his new public role as a good and gracious loser.

Whether that means he is ready to modify his radically leftist approach to economic policy remains to be seen.

...turning point, and I think that we are going to come into one of the greatest and most exciting periods in the history of the world. Jean-François Revel, author of that book Without Marx or Jesus,* wrote on this subject and said: "I don't think the answers are going to come from the Communist world or from the old, European countries. The one place where there is flexibility and creativity enough is America." I remain an optimist. I see opportunities for improving the quality of people's lives not only here but in other...
