For the sinful but penitent midd

18、le, however, there is the option of purgatorya bit of fiery cleansing before they are admitted to eternal bliss. Nor is inflicting pain to achieve purification restricted to the afterlife. Self-flagellation is reckoned by many here on Earth to be, literally, good for the soul.Surprisingly, the idea

19、that experiencing pain reduces feelings of guilt has never been put to a proper scientific test. To try to correct that, Brock Bastian of the University of Queensland, in Australia, recruited a group of undergraduates for what he told them was a study of mental acuity.At the start of the study, 39 o

20、f the participants were asked to write, for 15 minutes, about a time when they had behaved unethically. This sort of exercise is an established way of priming people with the feelings associated with the subject written about. As a control, the other 23 wrote about an everyday interaction that they

21、had had with someone the day before.After the writing, all 62 participants completed a questionnaire on how they felt at that specific moment. This measured, among other things, feelings of guilt on a scale from one (very slightly guilty or not at all) to five (extremely guilty).Participants were th

22、en told they were needed to help out with a different experiment, associated with physical acuity. The 23 who had written about everyday interactions and 20 of the 39 who had written about behaving unethically were asked to submerge their non-dominant hand (ie, left, if they were right-handed, and v

23、ice versa) into a bucket of ice for as long as they could. The remaining 19 were asked to submerge their non-dominant hand into a bucket of warm water for 90 seconds, while moving paper clips one at a time between two boxes, to keep up the illusion of the task being related to physical capabilities.

24、 That done, participants were presented with the same series of questions again, and asked to answer them a second time. Then, before they left, they were asked to rate on a scale of zero (no hurt) to five (hurts worst) how much pain they experienced in the warm water and the ice.Dr. Bastian reports

25、 in Psychological Science that those who wrote about immoral behaviour exposed themselves to the ice for an average of 86.7 seconds whereas those who had written about everyday experiences exposed themselves for an average of only 64.4 seconds. The guilty, then, either sought pain out or were inured

26、 to it. That they sought it out is suggested by the pain ratings people reported. Those who had written about immoral behaviour rated the ice-bucket experience at an average of 2.8 on the pain scale. The others rated it at 1.9. (Warm water was rated 0.1 by those who experienced it.)Furthermore, the

27、pain was, indeed, cathartic. Those who had been primed to feel guilty and who were subjected to the ice bucket showed initial and follow-up guilt scores averaging 2.5 and 1.1 respectively. By contrast, the “non-guilty“ participants who had been subjected to the ice bucket showed scores averaging 1.3

28、 and 1.2almost no difference, and almost identical to the post-catharsis scores of the “guilty“. The third group, the guilt-primed participants who had been exposed to the warm bucket and paper clips, showed scores averaging 2.2 and 1.5. That was a drop, but not to the guilt-flee level enjoyed by th

29、ose who had undergone trial by ice.Guilt, then, seems to behave in the laboratory as theologians have long claimed it should. It has a powerful effect on willingness to tolerate pain. And it can be assuaged by such pain. Atonement hurts. But it seems to workon Earth at least. (From The Economist; 63

34、 later in life, Henry Robinson Luce was a great supporter of a revolution, the Chinese revolution of 1912. He wrote to a friend who was visiting Luces missionary parents in China, welcoming him to “a great land, peopled by a great nation, endowed with a great past, overshadowed by a greater future.“

35、 It was, he added, “the greatest and most stupendous Reformation in all history.“Luce achieved much in his life. By sheer effort he won the glittering prizes at Yale, where he, a poor scholarship boy and undistinguished at games, made Skull and Bones, the secret society that was the nursery of the A

36、merican establishment. He was helped through university by the wealthy widow of Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the combine harvester, who had been persuaded by Father Luce to stump up for his China mission.With his more flashily gifted Yale chum, Brit Hadden, he founded Time magazine. After Haddens ea

37、rly death Luce went on to become the autocratic and fabulously wealthy boss of Time Inc, publisher of Time, Fortune, Life and Sports Illustrated. He persuaded President Eisenhower that Mrs Clare Boothe Luce, his talented, neurotic wife, should be posted to Rome as the American ambassador.Luce tried,

38、 with little success, to play kingmaker in presidential politics. In 1940 Time editors winced as he turned the magazine into a campaign puff for Wendell Willkie, and in 1948 Time was “as wrong as everyone else“ in its confidence that Thomas Dewey would beat Harry Truman, whom Luce called “a vulgar l

39、ittle Babbitt“. He hated Roosevelt.Where Luce was not wrong was in his famous essay, published in February 1941, that this would be “an American Century“. His point was not imperial, but idealistic, even chiliastic. It was Americas time, he wrote, “to be the powerhouse from which the ideals spread t

40、hroughout the world and do their mysterious work of lifting the life of mankind from the level of the beasts to what the Psalmist called a little lower than the angels.“Luce soon forgot the few words of Mandarin he learned from his amah or nanny, but never did he forget his beloved China, the countr

41、y he had seen through the eyes of a missionarys child in an impoverished province. He worshipped Chiang Kai-shek, corrupt dictator and historic loser. To an imaginary China, he dedicated his life.In this superb biography Alan Brinkley, a Columbia University historian, has told the curiously depressi

42、ng story of a brilliant man who got everything wrong, including so many of the things that mattered most to him. Mr Brinkley has an eye for both the telling detail and the broad sweep of Luces role as the man who saw the need for a national news magazine and foresaw the American century.Time style,

43、with its heroic epithets and inverted sentences (memorably parodied in a New Yorker profile by Wolcott Gibbs, with its famous last line, “where it all will end, knows God“) was the legacy of Luces and Haddens classical education at Yale. Luce tried to use his magazines to convert Americans to his id

44、eas. He was largely frustrated by his editors, who ignored his political directives. Like Lord Beaverbrook (with whose granddaughter, Jeanne Campbell, Luce had the last serious love affair of his life), he liked left-wing writers, among them Archibald MacLeish, Dwight Macdonald and Daniel Bell, who

45、despised his conservatism.Mr Brinkley pleads that Luce was less “fevered“ than other cold warriors, his attitude to domestic communism “more nuanced“. He did call for “the liberation of China“ and a “rollback of the Iron Curtain with tactical atomic weapons“, and once speculated about “plastering Ru

46、ssia with 500 (or 1,000) A bombs“. He was a passionate believer in the superior material culture and the “national purpose“ of America. He died of a massive heart attack in 1967, just as his crusade against communism in Asia was stumbling towards its own death in Vietnam. (From The Economist; 653 wo
