...work, if he were permitted to determine on his own when he would work and when he would rest, and above all if he felt that his work was serving an end that he personally felt to be important, then it would not be necessary to create the special kind of worker mentality that our schools presently turn out. Alienation appears to be a feature of capitalist industrialism (or in the case of the USSR, statecapitalist industrialism) rather than of industrialism in general. We should not accept such things as fixed...

...wide-awake learning; adults who are deprived of REM, for example, show little or no decline in their ability to think logically or memorize.

With good reason: Erasmus* has survived those centuries well. As a humanist of international eminence and a lifelong apostle of Christian renewal, he put a special mark both on the Renaissance and on the Reformation that followed it. More important, many of his ideas about reform and the Christian life seem remarkably relevant today, and the best scholarship on Erasmus has been the work of 20th century historians. The most recent example is Erasmus of Christendom (Scribners, $6.95), an affectionate appreciation by Yale Reformation Historian Roland H. Bainton, best known for his biography of Martin Luther, Here I Stand...
