...Democrat of center-stripe conviction, a Roman Catholic, a young (31) suburban (Evanston, Ill.) mother of two and wife of a vice president at the First National Bank of Chicago. Her joiner's urge has been satisfied by participation in the 4-H Club.

...hymns," as Muggeridge puts it, adding that there is more "Methodism than Marxism" in the British Labor Party. This chapel heritage enables him to update Calvin, Knox, Cotton Mather, Praise-God Barebone, and all scourgers of the flesh since St. Paul.

According to Bernice Neugarten, another Chicago sociologist, many activists "seem to be carrying out the family value system [of liberalism] in ways that reflect the 1960s instead of the 1940s." She calls them "new chips off the old block...
...renewed sense of wholeness and the unity of knowledge. The time has come for intellectuals to study and teach that vision. What they should remember, though, is their own tendency to hope more innocently and despair more deeply than others. Flaubert had some good advice for intellectuals of every stripe: "By dint of railing at idiots, one runs the risk of becoming idiotic oneself." That risk is unusually high among today's divided intellectuals; perhaps if they lowered their own idiocy level, the rest of society would follow...
