...work. The Theology of Hope. "Christian faith strains after the promises of the universal future of Christ. There is only one real problem in Christian theology: the problem of the future." As Moltmann sees it, the churches have neglected that central point of Christianity almost completely, looking wistfully back, instead, toward a vanished primordial paradise. "The Church lives on memories," Moltmann writes in a second book, Religion, Revolution, and the Future, "the world on hope...
...work, with its inspired inconsequentiality, seemed to exert not only a period charm but charm, period. Five years ago, a new production of Hay Fever (1924) by Olivier's National Theater Company set off a flurry of revivals and re-evaluations. The times seemed right for a look back at gaiety, and soon the brittle sophisticate of legend, clenching a cigarette holder and dashing off pages of decadent dialogue before breakfast, had become the grand old man of the English theater...
...year the company earned only 3.9% on sales of $1.1 billion, compared with 6% for the industry's most profitable major operator, Firestone.

Over 50 women have played her on Broadway and in road companies. The stage version is less than 300 performances away from the longest-running musical record held by My Fair Lady. It now stars Pearl Bailey, who heads...
...shoring. When he left his post as general manager of the Packers to accept the Redskins' offer (of about 5% of the stock), the first thing Lombardi did was to lure Sam Huff out of retirement. A four-time All-Pro middle linebacker, Huff came back simply because "Lombardi is my kind of guy." Sam proved as rugged and mobile as ever. In the first game against Philadelphia, he came from nowhere to pick off a Norm Snead pass and lumber 18 yds. for a touchdown...
