"Careers That Change Your World," is another volume distilled from his passionate belief in individual liberty tempered by inâ€" dividual responsibility and his conviction that "it is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." If we truly believe the things we say we believe in, the Christopher creed furnishes a rallying point for an all out effort to animate our beliefs with action. __ The MacArthur debateâ€"the Kefauver hearings and report, point up the fact that ‘we are questioning our policies, both foreign and domestic, as perhaps never before in our history. Certainly not since the stormy days that prefaced the Civil War has there been soâ€"much flickering doubt and wavering convicâ€" tion as to where we, as a nation, are headed and why. We have mentioned the Christophers before in this column, but the appearance 6f a new book "Caâ€" reers That Change Your World," is ample reasonâ€" if, indeedâ€"any reason were neededâ€"to call attention again to the Christopher message. _ _ _ .
