"HI VARIETY" Feb. IL
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-12-05

The deans and sages, who were speak
ing the truth when they said they were
with you in principle, end up being really
happy; and Citizen K is presented with
an accomplished fact. Sometimes he
even makes the discovery that moral
improvement is not as disastrous as he
had thought it would be.
In HIS recent and excellent anthology,
Man And Cod" Victor Gollancz recalls
an old legend which tells one version of
the story of the Israelites and the Red
Sea. Encouraged by Moses to believe
the waters would part and let them
through, the Israelites arrived on the
shore to find the sea impossible. 1t was
not, the story goes, until the first man
waded in that the waters drew back.

it frequently pays off just as well in more
complicated human relationships. The
intimidating relative, for instance. con-
fronted boldly, sometimes backs down
completely before unlooked-for opposition.
Similarly, in community life, daring is
sometimes the best way to fight political
corruption or racial prejudice or en-
trenched greed If one first consults the
grizzled deans and hoary sages, they
almost always say, 'fOf course, I'm with
you in principle, and I'd like to see fair
play, but Citizen K will certainly make
trouble.
If, on the other hand. you follow your
heart and. proceed on the moral assump-
ton that of course everybody wants our
society to be better, the venturesome
technique is often crowned with success.
