...Question of Power. Perhaps the most decisive answers came from thinkers who questioned the very reality of world opinion that the U.S. has sought to court. Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr says: "World opinion doesn't really exist." So also argues University of Chicago Political Scientist Hans (Politics Among Nations) Morgenthau (TIME, July 7). To Morgenthau, the U.S. has too long tended to consider foreign policy as a public-relations gimmick, forgetting that policy is a question of power. "This world opinion we pay so much attention to is largely a myth," he says. "It is true that there...
...peur d'Aimer (The Great Fear of Loving), with a prefatory send-off from famed Authoress Simone (The Second Sex) de Beauvoir. Its simply told case histories of women who needed to prevent unwanted pregnancies aroused the conscience of her fellow doctors. France's leading Protestant theologian, Pastor Marc Boegner, backed her; so did Authors Georges Duhamel and Gabriel Marcel.

But he seemed to speak with more feeling of the importance of scholarship and the need "for constant detachment, a will to go apart and wait upon God in quiet and silence...
...adult reader with a strong stomach, the scandalous and scurvy parts are worth reading more than the ornithological thimbleriggery. When Miller assumes the role of atheist-theologian, no such apocalyptic poppycock could be found outside the atelier of a Sunset Strip swami. On encountering words like "Life," "Love," "God," "Art," etc., a first rule for the reader is to reach 'for the safety catch of his syllogism. If not armed with this weapon he could try a simpler trick, what might be called the "No Game" of slipping in a negative each time Miller makes a cosmic positive statement...
