...since the New Testament was written in brisk, koine (common) Greek, contemporary versions should reflect its informal spirit, even if they have to be updated every generation as language changes. For the first time, U.S. Roman Catholics are now finding out what this theory means in practice (Protestants, by comparison, have had the racy J. B. Phillips version since 1958, and the New English Bible since 1961). When they adopted the vernacular Mass last fall, with Epistle and Gospel readings in English instead of Latin, the U.S. hierarchy took their texts from the still unfinished Confraternity Bible-and have been...
...sadism, punctuated by grotesque poetry such as that of his discourses on phonetics. Ionesco forces us to see the professor and his lesson as the pupil herself doubtless sees them, uncomprehending. The ridicule is so successful that the girl's inability--and unwillingness--to think emerge as virtues by comparison...

The old-line liberals who argue this way, who talk hard to expiate past errors of softness, are committing the opposite error of rigid adherence to an old standard that has no application here. There are valid reasons for the North Vietnamese to want the reunification promised at the Geneva Conference to take place, and it is obviously...
This is especially true of Stella's works as they evolve from 1959. The contrast between his Die Fahne Hoch (1959) and Ileana Sonnabond (1963) in gallery 11, makes the later work seem dead-pan in comparison to the more obvious monumentality of the earlier one. In time, however, the white lines of the magenta trapezoid come to life...
