...Pope John Paul's qualified acceptance of nuclear deterrence if nations worked for disarmament. "Unilateralists are carrying out a one-sided campaign," Heim wrote, "and it is clear which side it benefits most." He continued, "Whether those doing so are consciously sharing the Soviet aggressiveness and ideology or belong to the well-known useful idiots or, again, are blinkered idealists would have to be judged in individual cases, even in that of Bruce Kent...
...Wodehouses' novels, noted George Orwell, is how long ago they were written. That was in 1945. Today they appear to have been composed somewhere between the Jurassic era and the Iron Age. The plummy clubmen, the young wastrels in spats and waistcoat, the shockable aunts, the frosty butler belong in a diorama at the Museum of Natural History, not onstage.

They are "hard-to-place" children, candidates for adoption who have mental or physical handicaps, are siblings who do not wish to be separated, belong to minority groups or are simply older than six and no longer cuddly. But Thursday's children are on television virtually every day of the week. With the cooperation of adoption agencies, an estimated 50 stations throughout the U.S. carry regular features on them, usually as part of local newscasts...
