...signature of approval on blueprints for barracks in Hitler's death camps during World War II. Lübke came under such heavy attack that last week, in an extraordinary move for a head of state, he bowed to public pressure and appeared on nationwide German TV to answer charges about his wartime activities. In a brief, four-minute telecast, he traced his wartime career as an auditor in a Berlin architect's office that designed plants and workers' barracks, firmly denied that he had anything to do with extermination camps. "Those who vilify me have long...
...dead, how can man prove that he lives? Rational proofs cannot convince the skeptic; the Bible alone is authority only to the convinced believer; the demythologized universe no longer points to an unseen creator. One approach to an answer that appeals more and more to modern Protestant thinkers is the undeniable evidence of religious experience-the intuition men have of their dependence upon God. The popularity of this insight, in turn, leads back to the study of Friedrich Schleiermacher, the theologian who first developed it as a basis of Christian faith. After a generation of neglect, Schleiermacher, who died...
There are several other major theological questions that Schleiermacher made pioneering attempts to answer. As one of the first thinkers to study the cultural setting of Biblical writings, he was the forerunner of modern critical scholarship on Scripture. Convinced that denominationalism had outlived its usefulness, he was an embryonic ecumenist and worked to achieve a merger between Germany's Reformed and Lutheran churches. "People are learning," says Schubert Ogden of Southern Methodist University's Perkins School of Theology, "that Schleiermacher was the first great theologian to articulate a reinterpretation of Christian tradition in reference to modern life...
...answer to their longevity may well be the depletion of body fat. In other centrifuge experiments, Oyama subjected weanling rats (three to four weeks old) to 4.7 G. for three to six months. Within 24 hours after he returned them to normal gravity by removing them from the centrifuge, the animals gained approximately 10% in body mass. Conversely, weanling rats raised under normal gravity lost about 10% of their mass-much of it in body fat-within 24 hours after being placed in the higher artificial gravity of a centrifuge. To probe the fat-depletion phenomenon further, Oyama plans...
POPSI Project. With some reason, the FCC can answer its critics with the defense that its jurisdiction-the entire publicly owned electromagnetic spectrum-is just unmanageable on a $19 million pittance of a budget. It is the FCC that assigns frequencies to ham operators and taxi fleets, TV stations and aviation controllers. It is trying to clear the maddening interference-ridden nighttime AM radio band and the general clutter that hampered police communications during the Watts, Newark and Detroit riots. When people complain about excessive telephone or telegraph rates, or that radio-controlled garage doors are fouling up aircraft communications...
