Its original manifesto included Christian norms, religious freedom, a freemarket system, human rights and a federal government.

—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“I am not a literary man.... I am a man of science, and I am interested in that branch of Anthropology which deals with the history of human speech.”
