...Paul VI's reasoning goes deeper than the surface problems of sexuality and birth control. He bespeaks man as a spiritual as well as a material being. He upholds continence as a possible virtue whereas his every critic (including, sadly, many Catholic priests) at least implicitly regards continence as an impossible virtue to modern man. To deny the possibility of continence (in any human field) is to profess the democratically fatal doctrine that man is a determined being, not a free one-a doctrine at the base of too many political, social and economic practices already eating away...
...Pope says there's a way for birth control. Yes, let's tell the Pope to talk about fertile periods with an illiterate woman and talk about abstinence with a drunken and brutal man who keeps his woman like a slave...
...Letter Writer Dooskin [Aug. 2] should know that there was at least one demonstrator for the Czech cause.

They are human happenings, and as such may spell the death of art rather than its birth. For them, durability seems like death. Their credo is not "Life is short. Art is long" but "Life is short. Art is shorter." Sibylline Utterances. To move from the coffeehouses to an Old Vic revival of The Three Sisters is like catapulting through time. The production is exquisitely mounted, the acting...
