...original form as "a safe guide for religious instruction." The catechism, which was endorsed by the Dutch hierarchy, came under Vatican fire for being ambiguous about such subjects as Jesus' sacrifice and the perpetual virginity of Mary. Last month the Dutch bishops reluctantly agreed to insert, as an appendix to the next edition, a number of theological criticisms made by a commission of cardinals named by the Pope...
...Dutch hierarchy has done nothing to implement the commission's report; at best, it may be added as an appendix to the next edition of the catechism. Possibly with the Dutch in mind, Pope Paul last week denounced Catholics, including priests and bishops who "choose the truths they like." In a voice cracking with emotion, he warned that "when it comes to its own teaching, the church is dogmatic and intransigent-at any cost...
Cache in the Shaft. Most original ol the art-nouveau architects was Spain's Antoni Gaudi, but recognition was slow in coming. Two decades ago, Art Historian Nikolaus Pevsner, in his Pioneers of Modern Design, relegated Gaudi to two footnotes in the appendix. Eight years later, Pevsner recanted, saying, "He is the only genius produced by art-nouveau." Gaudi, who urged that "we must not imitate or reproduce Gothic but continue it," based his studies on Catalan architecture and plant forms in nature. The results, scholars now recognize, intuitively anticipated many of today's shell structures, including...
Improbable Probability. To explain why, Judge Raymond Sullivan attached a four-page appendix to his opinion that carried the necessary math far beyond the relatively simple formula of probability. Judge Sullivan was willing to assume it was unlikely that such a couple as the one described existed. But since such a couple did exist-and the Collinses demonstrably did exist-there was a perfectly acceptable mathematical formula for determining the probability that another such couple existed. Using the formula and the prosecution's figure of 12 million, the judge demonstrated to his own satisfaction and that of five concurring...
...indifferent to adequate financial support for Teaching Fellows, but it does mean that, at least up to now, we have aimed at "adequate" rather than the highest stipends. While we certainly wish our rates to be at least "average" from a nationwide point of view, your conclusion in Appendix 2, IV, is not to us a distressing one; and we have not, frankly, been disturbed by the fact that some neighboring institutions pay their Teaching Assistants more than we do. To be perfectly candid about this matter, we believe Harvard has unique educational advantages to offer its Teaching Fellows. Even...
