...Lassa, a sun-baked herdsmen's village (pop. 1,000) in western Nigeria, Nurse Laura Wine of the Church of the Brethren Mission fell ill. She suffered fever and pain in her joints, and developed small red blotches on her skin and ulcers in her throat and mouth. Nurse Wine was flown to a larger mission hospital at Jos, in centra] Nigeria. There she died within 30 hours, but not until Nurse Charlotte Shaw had used her finger and a swab to cleanse the mouth ulcers. Nurse Shaw had nicked her finger earlier in the day while cutting roses...
There are 330,000 Israeli Arabs, and in terms of education and economy they fare considerably better than most of their brethren elsewhere in the Middle East. Though the majority live in exclusively Arab villages or sections of the big cities, that is mostly a matter of preference, not public policy. There are no back-of-the-bus rules, no official apartheid. Their material conditions are constantly improving. Still, the Israeli Arabs are in large measure second-class citizens. They feel that they lack economic equality with the country's Jews. More important is their psychological problem. Referring...
There is fear that more-and possibly even more bizarre-attacks may be in the offing.

The list of proposed victims included Charles Clore, chairman of Selfridge...

For others, the words of Jesus are a better rationale: "As long as you did it for one of these, the least of my brethren, you did it for me." Yet secular involvement is an enterprise that brings many unfamiliar encounters; it can profoundly disturb the cleric who comes to it without a theology. For such men, contemporary theologians are seeking to develop a new understanding of the central relationships of human life, and in the process...
...asked to subsidize mass transit more than they are already doing. With this argument, Procaccino completely fails to realize that mass transit riders already pay a tremendous, almost incalculable subsidy to drivers: they travel in a crowded, dirty, sightless underground, while conceding the open air to their generally richer brethren. Similarly, pedestrians pay tribute to the automobile by gauging the erratic pace of their journeys to the cause of eased car travel...
