...metaphor is something that we revere at Harvard. (In fact, Harvard is a metaphor for Harvard.) Thomas Schelling, the game theory professor, was able to convince a large number of faculty members to support his amendment to the Bruner motion on ROTC by comparing ROTC with the Anglican Church. Think of ROTC as the Anglican Church, he said. Now, even if we realized that the Anglican Church is teaching ministers here and that is something we think is wrong for a university to allow, we would not want to boot the Church off the campus so promptly and meanly...

Also, Harvard did not explode last week. There were no buildings flying around and limbs and grass and heads. So why do we look for "unbearable pressures...
Redundancy. The unhappy state of St. Leonard's is an all too typical story.

Except for occasional tourists, few people ever visit them; each year their congregations grow ever smaller. "There hasn't been...

Lacking the money or the manpower to maintain them, the bishops of some rural dioceses have been pronouncing certain parishes "redundant"-that is, they withdraw recognition of the church, order its old doors locked, and if no other use can be found, declare the building ready for demolition. "The church is for people; it is not a society for the preservation of ancient monuments," said a recent diocesan report in Lincolnshire, where 57 rural parishes have already...
...week that illusion was abruptly shattered. Security forces rounded up 85 Arabs and accused them of having set off a blast in a Jerusalem supermarket last month that killed two shoppers. The Israelis also bulldozed their homes, where massive amounts of explosives were found. The suspects included an Arab Anglican clergyman, who, according to the Israelis, acted as a courier for orders and relayed explosives provided by the Egyptian embassy in Amman...
