...Maccabees launched a revolt against their Syrian overlords, the purpose of which was the preservation of and the right to practice one's faith. Had the Maccabees not fought this war for liberty of the spirit or had they lost, Judaism would have perished and Christianity would never have been born. There is, therefore, historical justice in the fact that for several centuries the Christian church observed Aug. 1 as a festival entitled "The Birthday of the Maccabees" and that the historical books bearing their names are part of the Apocrypha. In Judaism the Maccabees are remembered...
Four-Way Plug-In. The Beatles, as Paul has been warning recently, "are not the four moptops any more." They are four iconoclastic, brass-hard, post-Christian, pragmatic realists. Some of this does break through Davies' skein of anecdotes. So does the curious relation among the Beatles. Film Director Richard Lester once described it as "the four-way multiple plug-in personality," in which each one is only a phase of a larger unit that has far more reality for them than any other human relationship they know...

...fundamentalist groups that have also broken with mainstream Protestant churches on the issue of membership in the World Council. The biggest U.S. member is the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches, which has 1,300 congregations and 180,000 worshipers. Mclntire spreads his gospel through a weekly paper, the Christian Beacon (circ. 120,000), and a Monday-Friday radio program broadcast over 635 stations. Mclntire and his co-crusaders also run a four-year liberal arts college in Cape May and a seminary in Elkins Park, Pa. The cause is financed by contributions, totaling $3,000,000 last year, from...
