...humbly suggest to all who ponder the relevancy of the church in a modern setting that we stop talking so much, be quiet and think and pray. Sometimes, it seems to me, our theologians and intellectuals confound the very ideas they wish to propound by indulging in so much pompous, convoluted verbosity. The rest of us-the prosaic mass-have traditionally looked to our founding fathers and religious leaders to help us articulate that which we so inadequately proclaim. I, for one, am not confused by God, or the church, or my place in a secular world. I am confused...
...battle from slit trenches near the river. They called it "a Cinemascope production." The broad Beisan valley, green with ripening winter crops and blossoming trees, was painted with countless columns of rising black smoke.

Thus, the computer showed, as the craft approached 45 Eridani at ever increasing velocities, other stars in the sky began to converge toward the target star. At 90% of the speed of light, only a few stars remained visible through the rear window. In a nightmarish finale to Moskowitz's flight, the remainder of the visible universe-stars, galaxies, nebulas-seemed...
...large number of liberals that surround William Buckley is not surprising. It merely demonstrates that an articulate, logical representation of conservative positions will often confound liberals. They befriend Buckley in the way that the vanquished befriend the conqueror. GREGORY G. SCHMIDT Urbana...
