...redemption that awaits all believers. Theologian Donald Bloesch of the University of Dubuque says fellow conservative Protestants "need to see Mary as the pre-eminent saint" and "the mother of the church." Similar convergences will receive a thorough airing in February, when U.S. Catholic and Lutheran negotiators issue an accord, years in the making, on Mary's role...
...accord, the largest native land-claim settlement ever, will carve a new territory to be called Nunavut (Our Land) out of the 770,000 sq. mi. that makes up the eastern two-thirds of the Northwest Territories, where 17,500 Inuit live. The Inuit will gain mineral rights on 14,000 sq. mi. but will give up other subsurface claims in exchange for $1 billion...

In a strange way, the two reports balance one another out. It may be ridiculous to accord Stone's movie a status coequal with the Warren report. On the other hand, the Warren report has endured through the years as a monolith of obscure suppression, a smooth tomb of denial. Stone's movie, for all its wild gesticulations, at least refreshes the memory and gets a long- cold...
