...these proposals and their many variants have one thing in common: the assumption that because the U.S.S.R. refuses to accept reunification of Germany by free elections (as it originally promised), the West must buy a German settlement by surrendering some of its own positions of strength. Sole exception to this rule is the formula advanced by Sir Anthony Eden at Geneva in 1955, and revived in the House of Commons last week by Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd. Its basic provisions: Germany should be reunited by free elections and allowed to determine its own foreign policy (the NATO treaty does...
...Harvard are prone to suppose that their job is not to train youngsters, but to intellectualize those already destined for the elite. No one would deny the importance of such efforts should they succeed, but if the superficial veneer of culture which most people acquire in college is the sole return on their investment, then millions of Americans are being short changed. Before accepting this improbable hypothesis we must scrutinize the possibility that the four year apprenticeship to the scholars (often called "liberal education") changes not only the veneer but the man within...
...proselytizers had some good news from the Italian equivalent of the U.S. Supreme Court. Francesco Giuseppe Rauti, 36, had quit his job as a salesman eight years ago and become a Pentecostal pastor after attending an evangelical service in Bari. He went to Crotone (pop. 40,000) on the sole of Italy's boot in 1955, and since then has managed to recruit a congregation of more than 300. When the police closed down his church in a converted apartment, Rauti carried his case to the 15-man Constitutional Court, whereupon the court ruled that no one in Italy...
...ruling committee of party activists. At Sputnik Commune, 260 mess halls have been set up where members are fed free rice. These communal kitchens, plus communal nurseries and "mending brigades," relieve the wives of members from "dull and trivial housework," transform women, too, into all-purpose laborers. (The sole concession made to femininity: pregnant women get a month off work with half pay.) Even the old folks, for whom the commune has established "Happy Homes," are kept busy with scheduled chores, such as feeding the chickens. And in at least one Kwangtung commune, when the inhabitants of the Happy Homes...
While air pollution is not pinpointed as the sole cause of increase in these death rates, it does affect "almost everyone and everything in eight principal ways: health, irritation, nuisance, soiling, corrosion, reduced visibility, damage to plants and damage to animals." For example, said Vernon MacKenzie, engineering chief of the air pollution program, auto fumes contain "well over 100 separate compounds, and some of these can later react in air to produce still other substances." This may be one reason why city v. country charts of disease rates show dramatic contrasts...
