...hopeful talk of a peaceful coming together of Protestantism and Roman Catholicism, the conversation sooner or later gets down to Spain. The real Catholicism, say its most wary Protestant critics, is not to be found in the democratically coexisting church in the U.S. but in 99.7%-Catholic Spain. There, arch-conservative church leaders have for years treated Protestants with something of the hostility, though not the violence, that pagan Rome displayed toward the early Christians.

From the lobby, they cut the room's vast elongation without removing an inch of space. From the first balcony, they explode like flowers suddenly bursting into bloom. Higher up, the slender wires attract attention: hundreds of cats' cradles that seem to have...
Alfred E. Vellucci, arch-critic of Harvard for his seven years on the Cambridge City Council, said yesterday that he favored the sale of the MTA's Bennett Street Yards to the University even if it submits a lower bid for the property than a private developer...
