The Church in America

the same type as the shamans and panacea peddlers who clustered about the big medicine man in the White House, and Wiener was painfully astonished when he first discovered that he had to deal with intriguers and liars. These new “administrators of science” are necessarily hostile to first-rate minds and are therefore assuring a gullible public that we live in a New Era in which scientific discovery is made by “collective effort,” “teamwork,” and “group-mindedness”—which is, of course, the equivalent of claiming that a large sum may now be produced by adding together a large number of zeros. REVILO OLIVER

Twenty-seven competent Roman Catholics discuss, rather sketchily, twenty-three aspects of their Church in the U.S.A., including such disparate matter as labor, the intellectual frontier, racial segregation, the interior life, religious freedom, the liturgical movement, nationalities and racial diversities, the Church’s organization, financial structure and school sytem.
