That image was shattered in a well-planned hour of bloodshed last week when Held decided to mount a one-man revolt against the world he feared and resented. After seeing his wife off to work and their children to school, Held, a proficient marksman, pocketed two pistols-a .45 automatic and a Smith & Wesson .38-and drove his station wagon to the mill. Parking carefully, he gripped a gun in each fist and stalked into the plant. Then he started shooting with a calculated frenzy that filled his fellow-worker victims with two and three bullets apiece, at least...
Buckley himself feels that the U.S. may be moving-at a snail's pace, to be sure-toward his kind of society. This is the point he makes in a book he is writing: The Revolt Against the Masses, a sequel to Ortega y Gasset's The Revolt of the Masses. To Ortega's somber message that the mass mind has displaced the aristocratic ideal, Buckley replies that there are signs of a resurgence of that ideal-in the movement away from behaviorism, from the "extreme pretensions of democratism."

Reuther took to the tube to ensure swift ratification of his contract, amid fears that Ford's 20,000 skilled workers, who generally complain of getting short shrift compared with their counterparts in the building trades, might revolt.

The radical cry of the '50's was "impersonalization" perpetrated by the centers of economic power; today's radicals concentrate on the central power's "manipulation...
Died. Friedrich Gogarten, 80, German theologian; of a heart attack; in Göttingen, Germany. An influential but little-known force in the shifting tide of modern Protestantism, Gogarten first joined Karl Earth in the 1920s in a revolt against liberal Christianity, postulating a neo-orthodoxy that stressed the Biblical imperatives of God's word to man. He retreated into seclusion when the Nazis took and twisted to their own ends his idea of a necessary link between theology and a dynamic' social order. After the war, Gogarten backed Rudolf Bultmann's demythologization of the Bible...
