...Even today the spirit of the Inquisition and unfreedom has not died out," said the Rev. Hans Küng, dean of the Roman Catholic theological faculty at Germany's Tübingen University, in a lecture on "The Church and Freedom" that he delivered across the U.S. last spring. Such polemics, directed at conservative Italians in the Roman Curia, drew big, interested crowds-3,000 at Boston College, 5,000 in Chicago, 6,000 in San Francisco. The Jesuit-run St.Louis University gave Küng an honorary doctorate of laws, hailing himas "a man of vision...
...time for theology to relate the Jesus of history to the proclaimed Christ of the kerygma. The proposal quickly found supporters, largely among Bultmann's students and disciples, who hold many top professorships in Biblical studies: Bornkamm and Erich Dinkier at Heidelberg, Käsemann at Tübingen, Herbert Braun at Mainz, Hans Conzelmann at Göttingen, Gerhard Ebeling at Zürich, Ernst Fuchs at Marburg's Institute of Hermeneutics. Initially open to the idea of the quest, Bultmann himself soon became skeptical, and freely criticizes his disciples' work...

Study of the eyes of beetles is already paying off. A group of scientists at Tübingen, Germany, found that a beetle's compound eyes can measure the speed of a moving background with random shadings on it. After finding out how the beetles do it, the scientists set to work building an instrument on the same principle to measure the ground speed of airplanes. It didn't need all of the compound eye, only two facets of it simulated by photocells watching the ground from the nose and tail of the plane...
