...chasing you around is no good," she says sternly, and starts clipping away with her shears. This leads into a lesson on containing aggressive philodendron: wrap the dangling stems around the base of the plant, puncture the skin and pin the stems down with hairpins so they will sprout anew. Her method for watering hanging plants without dribbling on the floor: drop a couple of ice cubes into...
ROMAN CATHOLICS More Power for Priests The trend toward democratization in the Catholic Church was demonstrated anew last week, when 300 priests from 114 U.S. dioceses (out of 141) met in Chicago to form a nationwide organization to speak out on clerical affairs. A few years ago, such an organization would have been unthinkable.

...years. The pattern soon became all too familiar: a period of expansion leading straight to the brink of bankruptcy for sterling at $2.80, then a rescue loan to buy time while the government damped down the economy. Once a spell of austerity built up Britain's reserves anew, governments invariably felt politically impelled to relax restrictions and let the whole expansion-to-the-brink process begin again...
