...important new search for their own détente. Their ultimate goal is to settle at least some of the issues that have made Europe a divided continent since the end of World War II. More than at any time since the Cold War began 23 years ago, European leaders seem convinced that some progress is possible, and that the time is right to reach...
...Being gay can be normal and satisfying, and has been for centuries. You will never raise the Lavender Curtain with psychiatric investigation. Faggots are not taking over the world, but they are indeed becoming more and more a part of the mainstream; and the sooner European attitudes become more prevalent, the sooner tolerance will ease any hang-up tensions that create those poor, sick, swishy things that a "welladjusted" homo can tolerate even less than the hetero world...

Even though some branches of government and some donors have a narrow definition of their interest, the availability of such support frees up other funds for less popular research areas. A research institution should therefore not be tested by whether it accepts funds that are limited to particular uses, but by the quality of its total product...
