...modern urban technology and the civilization it has produced. With surpassing ease and a cool sense of authority, the children of plenty have voiced an intention to live by a different ethical standard than their parents accepted. The pleasure principle has been elevated over the Puritan ethic of work. To do one's own thing is a greater duty than to be a useful citizen. Personal freedom in the midst of squalor is more liberating than social conformity with the trappings of wealth. Now that youth takes abundance for granted, it can afford to reject materialism...

The secret, says Fromm, is that each of Wasson's 900 orphans knows "he will not be expelled or abandoned for any reason"-yet at the same time...
Generous Response. Like the World Council, U.S. churches and synagogues are tending to react to the reparations demand by reviewing and enlarging their social-work programs. Thus, the American Jewish Committee rejected the "Black Manifesto" but is considering a national ad hoc group to help the poor...
