  A 6-page typed article for the issue in AMERICA centering on Dorothy Day entitled, "Leaven of Love and Justice." ~ Gordon writes that Dorothy opposed participation in the CO program at the onset because she considered it a form of cooperation with the war and conscription. Peace like other issues engaged the efforts of the Movement--"its total and never wavering identification with the poor, the aged, the sick, and the outcast; its insistent demands for social justice for the worker and an end to all forms of race prejudice and discrimination. . . Most disheartening of all to its adherents is the obvious fact that, forty years after its founding, the Worker is still unsuccessful in its efforts to unleash the full revolutionary force of Christianity. . .

• CZHN 3/04616 Book Review : Gordon Zahn 1972
  A 2-page typed book review on James W. Douglass', "Resistance and Contemplation: The Way of Liberation." ~ Gordon writes that "It is not an easy book to read if only because so much of its message is couched in poetic and esoteric, often overly obsure, abstractions and generalization. . . I cannot challenge its applicability, but it left me wondering whether a direct statement of the argument in terms and concepts more familiar to the Christian audience to whom the book is presumably addressed might not have made his point with far greater clarity . . . ."
• CZHN 3/04575 Book Review : Gordon Zahn 1972
  A 3-page typed book review on Gil Elliot's "Twentieth Century Book of the Dead." ~ "The author sets himself to the herculean task of 'naming' the dead and thereby bring the mass into a more manageable perspective so that we might judge where we are and, more important, where mankind is headed unless we somehow gain control over our death-dealing propensities and predispositions." Gordon states that though Elliot's attempt to "name" the dead is impossible, it was well worth the attempt because the result of his efforts is a book with a message that will not be easy to forget.

  A 6-page typed book review on Ladislas Farago's "The Game of the Foxes," J. C. Masterman's "The Double-Cross System," and E. H. Cookridge's "Gehlen, Spy of the Century." ~ Gordon states that "what these books sacrifice in flamboyance of style and excess of measure permitted to the fictional representations is more than compensated for by the chilling realization that this 'game' is no game or, even worse, to the extent that it is, all or us, the readers included, are the insignificant counters in the high stakes for which the players contest." These books mesh well together and have the common theme of spies and counterspies.
