Marting pooh-poohs the professional scouts who claim Dowling's three-quarter delivery and his tendency to scramble from the pocket will limit his effectiveness as a pro. "Brian is a great athlete and he can adjust his style if necessary," Marting insists...
Michael Novak has defined this attitude toward church structure as "nonhistorical orthodoxy." It is not supported by an analysis of Christian origins. The papal claim to monarchic supremacy is based, in part, upon Jesus' words in Matthew 16:18: "You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church." Today, the majority of New Testament scholars agree with the view of Bishop Francis Simons of India, who notes in his new book, Infallibility and the Evidence (TIME, Nov. 1) that the sentence simply singles out Peter as first among the Apostles and says nothing at all about...
...this war of words is, quite fittingly, one particular word. That is padjak, which today in Malay means "mortgage" or "pawn" but a century ago meant "to lease" or "to cede." The issue is whether the Sultan of Sulu in 1878 ceded his rights to Sabah, as the Malaysians claim, or simply leased those rights, as is maintained in Manila.

Malaysia passed legislation purporting to nullify the Philippine action and condemned it as a "composite of fantasy, fallacy and fiction." Now, diplomatic contacts are minimal. Largely overlooked in the imbroglio are the 600,000 Sabahans themselves, who, including...
Among unmarried women, a common psychiatric claim was that of girls who concluded that they had simply made a mistake. Said one: "I realized that I couldn't think of marrying him and spending the rest of my life with him, and I refuse to have a temporary marriage just to be able to give birth to a legitimate child. So I'm trapped. There's nowhere to turn. If I can't get an abortion legally and decently, I'll go out of my mind." The glib lay phrase "go out of my mind" by itself would not have...
