Computer Attack. Meanwhile, a church historian, Dr. Giuseppe Alberigo, and a team of scholars at the Institute of Religious Sciences in Bologna, also examined the new document and promptly issued a 60-page attack on it. They used an unorthodox but ingenious tool to aid their analysis: a computer. The team fed into it terms from both the proposed Lex and Vatican II documents. The computer revealed distinct differences between them. "Although the Lex is filled with references to the council," Alberigo charged, "its faithfulness to it is much less real than a superficial reading would indicate." As examples...
...subversive interpretation" of church discipline. Canon 90 declares that the church "has the inherent right to acquire, conserve and administer those temporal goods needed to pursue its proper objectives," a statement, said Alberigo, that sounds like "a group of businessmen defending an international monopoly." In matters of belief, the Bologna professor asserted, the Lex reflects no "hierarchy of truth," placing all church teachings on the same level and demanding acceptance of them all without distinction. Theologically, he complained, the doctrine of the Eucharist, that of Jesus Christ's real presence in the bread and wine of Communion, is slighted...
Even test-tube babies, once the stuff of science fiction, are now not only possible, but probable. Dr. Landrum Shettles of Columbia University and Dr. Daniele Petrucci of Bologna, Italy, have shown that considerable growth is possible in test tubes. Shettles has kept fertilized ova growing for six days, the point at which they would normally attach themselves to the lining of the uterus. Petrucci kept a fertilized egg alive and growing for nearly two months...
Taste Like Burrs. In Italy, the 18th century resisted generalization. Florentine painting had collapsed, never to revive, and activity was split among several centers: Rome, Venice, Turin, Bologna and Naples. There was no broad direction of style. The artists worked more and more outside Italy, pursuing foreign commissions and coming back with the seeds of foreign taste sticking to them like burrs. As a result, the range of the period was astonishing; it ran from Magnasco's turbid compositions of raggedy monks to the grandeur and sun-washed transparency of Tiepolo's Armida Abandoned by Rinaldo, from Pier...
...months after the accident, when the little sub was raised and drained, scientists noticed that the six bologna sandwiches, two apples and two thermoses of bouillon seemed remarkably well-preserved-even though they were soaked in sea water. Intrigued, a four-man team led by Microbiologist Holger Jannasch at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution ran tests on the lunches ranging from simple tasting to detailed lab analysis. Their conclusion: the apples were about as well-preserved as if they had been kept in a refrigerator while the rest of the food had fared far better than that...
