...seemed resigned to a "bad drubbing" in next month's congressional elections? asked a reporter at the presidential news conference last week. Replied Dwight Eisenhower: "I have heard these reports about apathy and about sitting on hands and complacency." To the President, such an attitude was "incomprehensible" in view of the record built up by his Administration since 1952. Said he: "I think the record of those six years is remarkably good." But what Ike missed was that it is not so much the Administration record as it is his own leadership, his ability to dramatize the record, that...
Roman Catholics of South America and those of North America approach their faith from highly different points of view. So says Jesuit Theologian Gustave Weigel of Woodstock College, who taught at Chile's Universidad Catolica from 1937 to 1948. Writing in Notre Dame's Review of Politics, Weigel says that the Northerner believes that "life is for work, with the work occasionally interrupted with leisure so that future work be more efficient." To the Latino, "life is for leisure, interrupted occasionally with work so that leisure itself be possible." Latin American students in U.S. Roman Catholic universities, says...
...should recognize that the Court, and each of its members, have far too much to do, and have to work far too hard and too fast, especially in view of the great complexity and importance of the issues that come before it," Griswold said.

...rabbis rarely appear more than once or twice a semester--and when they do, it is not a Jewish service which they conduct but rather a "Protestant order" of worship with a sermon from the Jewish point of view. This policy change does not, however, alleviate the perfectly justified complaint of one Jewish girl that "it is morally wrong to require anyone to go to church." If Mount Holyoke intends to continue admitting students of all faiths on a non-sectarian basis, it would seem fitting that the college alter its church requirement, so that no girl would be compelled...
...sound policy. But if we expect it to be applied in the form of a "plebiscite" sponsored by the UN, we will be disappointed. Plebiscites are not an old Chinese custom. The Nationalist government on Taiwan is a sovereign power in law and in its own sentiment and view of itself. It would not permit the UN to come in and stage a referendum; nor would it be desirable to let in an outside group of UN observers including Communist representatives...
