The repressed unused natures then tend to return as Images of the Golden Age, or Paradise, or as theories of the Happy Primitive. We can see how great poets, like Homer and Shakespeare, devoted themselves to glorifying the virtues of the previous era, as if it were their chief function to keep people from forgetting what it used to be to be a man.

  • Sucker Sermon" September 28, 1967 Elul 23, 5727 Fifth Avenue Synagogue Vol
    Rabbi's Message "Sucker Sermon" September 28, 1967 Elul 23, 5727 Fifth Avenue Synagogue Vol. X, No. 1 The high holy day season induces mixed feelings in most rabbis. On the one hand they rejoice that so many of their co-religionists attend services and fill pews that are usually vacant. At the same time, however, they are de-pressed that the beautiful prayers of the traditional liturgy do not move congregants as they were wont to in days of yore. Alas, that too often it is like the rendering of magnificent symphonic music to audiences that are tone deaf! Indeed, when one considers how few are the Jews in the modern age to whom the prayers ax*e truly meaningful, one has reason to exclaim that Jews are very loyal, long-suffering people. They crowd into their synagogues, give handsomely of their resources in order to do so, and then patiently suffer through hours of ritual which neither quickens their hearts nor stimulates their intellects. Apparently they do all of this because they want to be counted among their people and thus identify themselves with the fate and destiny of their brethren. This, in and of itself, is commendable and is to be encouraged. Yet rabbis want to do more to make this manifestation of the sense of Jewish solidarity a rewarding experience. May I offer a few suggestions? If we Jews were not so sophisticated, perhaps our prayers could be made simple — as simple as nursery rhymes. However, we are sophisticated and we ought not act as retardates in religion when we are cultured persons in our appreciation of poetry generally.

  • Banning Cars from Manhattan
    Paul and Percival Goodman Banning Cars from Manhattan 1961 The Anarchist Library Contents Peripheral Parking.......................... 4 Roads.................................. 4 Means, etc................................ 6 Conclusion............................... 6 2 We propose banning private cars from Manhattan Island. Permitted mo- tor vehicles would be buses, small taxis, vehicles for essential services (doctor, police, sanitation, vans, etc.), and the trucking used in light industry. Present congestion and parking are unworkable, and other proposed solu- tions are uneconomic, disruptive, unhealthy, nonurban, or impractical. It is hardly necessary to prove that the actual situation is intolerable. “Motor trucks average less than six miles per hour in traffic, as against eleven miles per hour for horse drawn vehicles in 1911.” “During the ban on nonessential vehicles during the heavy snowstorm of February 1961, air pollution dropped 66 per cent.” (New York Times, March 13, 1961.) The street widths of Manhattan were designed, in 1811, for buildings of one to four stories. By banning private cars and reducing traffic, we can, in most areas, close off nearly nine out of ten cross-town streets and every second north-south avenue. These closed roads plus the space now used for off-street parking will give us a handsome fund of land for neighborhood relocation. At present over 35 percent of the area of Manhattan is occupied by roads. Instead of the present grid, we can aim at various kinds of enclosed neighborhoods, in approximately 1200-foot to 1600-foot superblocks. It would be convenient, however, to leave the existing street pattern in the main midtown shopping and business areas, in the financial district, and wherever the access for trucks and service cars is imperative.

    ^^. The Museum of Modern Art FOR RELEASE: Thursday, October I7, I968 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart PRESS PREVIEW: Wednesday, October I6, I968 2-6 P.M. A six-foot scale model of Louis Kahn^s Monument to the Six Million Jewish Martyrs will have its first public showing at The Museum of Modern Art from October I7 through November I5. Commissioned by the Committee to Commemorate the Six Million Jewish Martyrs representing nearly 50 national and local Jewish organizations, the monument was designed for a site in Battery Park, alongside the Promenade near the Emma Lazarus Tablet and overlooking the Statue of Liberty. It has been approved in principle by the Parks Department and by the City Art Commission, and it is hoped that work can be completed by 1970. Arthur Drexler, Director of the Museum*s Department of Architecture and Design, says that the monument offers a physical embodiment of hope as well as despair. It consists of seven glass piers each 10* square and 11* high placed on a 66^ square granite pedestal. The center pier has been given the character of a small chapel into which people may enter. The walls of the chapel will be inscribed. The six piers around the center, all of equal dimensions^ are blank. "The one - the chapel - speaks; the other six are silent," the architect says. The piers are constructed of solid blocks of glass that interlock without the use of mortar, "Changes of light, the seasons of the year, the play of the weather, and the drama of movement on the river will transmit their life to the monument," Mr.
