The Danger Of
REACHING
BY Ruth Taylor

One of the most harmful effects
Of group thinking is its tendency
to create over-reaching ambitions
within the group itself. That is,
the group may start with a good
idea, a worthwhile fight for a de-
served right. but once this is at
tanned its members are not con-
tent. They have tasted the wine
of the power of teamwork, and
they over-reach themselves to go
out after privileges. Then. in their
search for power they too, often in
turn trample on the fights Of 9TH
ers.
Again and again in history
this happened. from the Rule Of
the Ten in Rome in tn eyear 367
B.. C--and even before-up to the
present time. There is nothing SO
intolerant as the intolerance of
those who have fought their way
to power. They have so concentFa-
ted on their w struggle that
they have been prone to overlook
the fact that other people have to
live too.
Up to now one of the great adj
vantages of our republic has been
that it was never static long E.
nough for any group to keep con-
troll too long. The country was too
big, too varied in its resources to
be anything but fluid. Founded up

NEW YORK-By every train and

dreams in their eyes, courage in
their h9arts-maybe even some
money irf,their pockets: the ambi-
tious and the ~star-struek youth Of
our land. ,
It's nothing new, but it's always
new. You see thep walking along
Broadway or Fifth Ave. with the
wonder Of it all, and the wonder Of
themselves. shining in their fresh,
eager faces. For the first few days,
at least, and then they're absorbed
into the great city, just as they wish
to be.
There always seems TO be a room
somewhere on Manhattan to receive
them, and somehow a job Or a
friend. Most Of them eventually sink
into a routine anonymity Of work
and living, and consider themselves
lucky just ITO be in the place where
fame and fortune can55be found;
others find them - and thus New
York renews itself witr every day
and every train and bus.
