...Antony thinks only of reputation, and Cleopatra only of pleasure and safety. The Christian sinner cannot be saved who thinks despairingly of God's vengeance, or who boasts arrogantly of his exemption from divine activity. In each case vanity is present. The grace of love dissolves the vain strife of pride, fear, rancor, yearning, and the desolation of insufficient man. Antony's love will not let him be worldly; his honor will not let him be otherworldly. Neither East nor West is finally rejected, because each is imperfectly noble. East and West reconcile in souls which couch on flowers...
...alone impressively, is a phenomenon in itself. Essence's full-time staff numbers only 26 (four of whom, including Kerr, are white). The first issue took its toll of editors in chief, losing both Bernadette Carey (of Vogue) and Ruth Ross (ex-Newsweek) to shakedown strife.

In the past year, the state has had 584 murders, one-fourth of them in Calcutta. Never the safest place on earth, the teeming metropolis of 8,000,000 has become a city of fear. Aside from...
Intraparty strife has also troubled some of Europe's smaller parties. In Austria, the hierarchy killed a rambunctious magazine that grew increasingly critical of Soviet dogma. In Britain, where the leadership has made public peace with Moscow but remains privately critical, a pro-Kremlin faction has recently gained strength. In tiny Finland, governed by a coalition that includes the Communists, the party leadership was forced to mollify a growing, Moscow-oriented faction by criticizing the government's economic policies. The result has been to weaken the Communists' position in the coalition...
