Thinking about the way we think: how flexibility can be fatal -- The politics of compromise: "red-baiting" takes a new form -- The use and abuse of flexible distortion in the New Testament and early Christian thought -- Wartime France and the occupied British islands: two "flexiphobes" unyieldingly fight the genocidal trend and are joined by a sitting judge in Nazi Germany itself -- Secular story tellers present the limits of compromise: Shakespeare, Glaspell, and Faulkner -- Flexible distortions of American law and tradition, or how saints Paul and John influence fundamental social policy. |
