Ninth Commandment and car trends Across Decades
The piece shifts from a reflection on truth telling to American car sales history. It notes that few people name all ten commandments, cites that 1971 saw 2,117,487 four cylinder cars sold, and reports V8s peaked in 1968 at 78 percent of the market while foreign makes now dominate about 68 percent.
Ultramodern lamps and chairs from Italy at MoMA exhibit
The piece describes an Italian designed snakelike lamp with twenty bulbs, a bow armchair of iron tubing and stretched fabric, and an odd distant chair. The text shifts to a social critique about gossip and envy, urging readers to reflect on humility and self‑awareness. It ends with a meditation on pride and confession, hinting at a broader moral lesson.
Gossip and judgment under the ninth commandment
The text condemns idle tale bearing and gossip as moral harm, cites laws about stolen goods, and stresses living righteously to avoid gossip. It recounts Pierre Van Paassen’s tale of Ugolin and Solange, where rumor fuels tragedy, and warns against harsh judgment in a town.
