...Theological Seminary. "We treat Christianity as if its virtue were not derived from being Christian, but from being Western . . . One can believe that one has received revelation without necessarily believing he has received exclusive revelation. Exclusive-mindedness is one of the most fatal sins ... the sin of pride ... I suggest that we recognize all higher religions as revelations of what is good and right...
...aren't a special weekend treat, over and above temporary vacations from classes." Because of this omnipresence of the male, most Radclie girls regard blind dates with a certain degree of apprension and the more popular consider them distasteful. When confronted with an inescapable one, the Cliffedweller will usually suggest a first meeting over a cup of coffee on some weekday night, after she course is decided upon, the girl will probably play bridge in the dormitory smoker until 10, speculating with her friends as to whether the gentleman in question has two heads (Radcliffe is pessimistic, generally). Leaving with...

It had been possible for Evatt to claim with some justice that the Petrov case had been unfairly used to defeat his chance of becoming Prime Minister; it was also a fact that the Petrov disclosures had led to no arrests.

This conclusion should not suggest that if the United States had financed the Aswan dam in the first place, Russia would not have made its offers and there would be no Middle East tensions. Such dams cost over $1 billion, and the U.S. obviously can't go building them wherever underdeveloped countries need them. Nor does it mean that the U.S. should give technical aid without regard to the overall aims of its foreign policy. It only suggests that instead of an unholy alliance between its military and technical and programs, the U.S. should let the two stand separately...
