...human soul immortal? Is Christianity just a passing fad? Is Freud God? Assistant Professor Alston of the University of Michigan will not answer these questions in "Philosphy 190," but he will examine some of the ways in which the phenomenon of religious belief can be interpreted. St. Thomas Aquinas, Kierkegaard, Santayana, and Freud had various views on this topic, and the ideas will all come out in Emerson...
...whole league has been chasing them hopelessly ever since. With a ten-game and an eleven-game winning streak, they racked up the big lead that they have been hanging on to steadily.

Newk brooded for a day, apologized and came back with blood in his eye. Out of his Nashua experience, Dodger Manager "Smokey" Alston had obviously fashioned the right formula for handling his hot righthander. Newk has been fogging the ball past enemy batters ever since...
