Publisher: Harper

Postponed from original May listing -- reported as such in March issue...Again in everyday terms and incident, intelligent reasoning about America, and Americans, by a popular counselor and Lay educator. Commentary on where freedom begins -- and ends --on how to retain freedom without jeopardising others -- on how to replace the cuter discipline of force with the inner discipline of spirit. A discussion of the aristocrat as opposed to the democrat -- and the residual contributions of the aristocratic code; the individual, his awareness of other people, his courage in maintaining his own convictions, his obligation in group living; the question of public property versus private interests, etc. A discussion which demands the best of its listener -- in accessible form.
