single theory of nihilism enunci-
ated by Russian named Sergei
Nechayev nearly a century ago
Mr.. Payne's historical conclusions
can hardly be doubted, except by
the ideologically blind, who will
not see. The remedies he urges
are based on Christianity, decency
and common sense.
A standard dictionary defines
political nihilism as doctrine
holding that the existing struc-
ture Of society should be de-
stroyed." Nechayev became in
his brief career the high priest OF
10Th century nihilism. He drafted
the Revolutionary Catechism.
The NihiliStic Greed.
This amazing document, which
never used the term nihilism
stated that the revolutionary
breaks all ties with the civilized
world, its laws. its customs, its
morality. all those conventions
generally accepted by the world

If he has intercourse with the

Scandal Comes
To Philadelphia
MAIN LINE

MAIN LINE
BY Livingston Biddle, jr. (Mess-
ner; 49,
In this first novel, Mr.. Biddle
tells OF two Main Line Philadel-
phia families that were torn by q
scandal. The scandal came about
when Paul Brent returned from
the war and discovered that he
and his best friends wife were in
love. Paul's widowed mother and
Sandra's husband and parents, all
residents Of a fashionable suburb
were Mortified. But Paul and San
dra took up their life together in
the shabby downtown fiat which
was the best home they could
manage on Paul's newspaper sal
ary. Later Sandra's husband re-
Tented to the extent of allowing
her to get a divorce. Mr.. Biddle
writes briskly and sometimes feel
ingly. His story is not too plaus-
ible. Nor can it be said that 1t
adds anything new to a theme
dear to the modern novel: Moral
values are Of no consequence.

QUESTION: What is the origin

ANSWER: This body is said to
have first been formed by Moses
through command from the
Almighty. We find in the Penta-

said unto Moses, gather unto me
seventy of the elders of Israel :.
and they shall bear the burden
of the people with thee" From
that time on a ''sanhedrin' OF
seventy-one members, including
the President called the 'Nasi'

authority in the life of Israel
Writers claim that the "sanhed-
rim" continued to function until
about the fourth century of the
common era, although its scope
was narrowed after the destruc-
ton of the Temple.

QUIZ BOX

Agency, Inc.)

QUESTION: What is the San
hedrin?" IA. c.. HendersonviIle,
N. CO.
ANSWER: The "Sanhedrin" is
the term used to designate the
central legal authority in the
land of Israel during the days of
the Temple. Technically speak
ing, historians point to different
kinds of "sanhedrin," ell, differ
ent types of assemblies that
reigned during the Biblical era in
Jewish life, such as the political
sanhedrin," the small sanhed-
rin," the great sanhedrin." What
is most commonly referred to by
the term "Sanhedrin" is the
great sanhedrin which met in the
courts of the Temple in the "hall
of hewn stone" This body was
the one that was invested with
the highest religious authority of
all Israel, and is the body which
is being widely discussed today
by those who are seeking to re-
instate a central legal authority
in Jewish life. It was also called
the Great Beth Din"
4 Il
QUESTION: What is the deri-
walton of the term "Sanhedrin"
itself?
ANSWER: 1t is generally claim
ed that the term "Sanhedrin" has
its origin in the Greek language.
It is not found in Biblical litera-
ture. Etymologists claim it to be
a compound of two Greek terms:
'syn," meaning with" or Ito
gether" and "hedra," meaning
seat" Sanhedrin thus means a
group of people who "sit together"
Traditionalists like to feel that
the term "Sanhedrin" is an alb
breviation of the Hebrew sent
