Since "new ideas" today seem to mean vast, expensive federal programs that cause further encroachment on our freedoms, I am content to remain a Republican with no new ideas...
...power to set up a church structure of his own. While some extreme traditionalists in Europe might welcome such a move, its appeal in the U.S. is doubtful. A number of priests in the U.S. still defiantly say the forbidden Tridentine Mass, but their bishops generally ignore them, content to remind Catholics that the Mass is illicit.

If the yogurt is pasteurized, as it sometimes is, the bacteria are killed. Freezing inhibits their growth. The calorie content depends on whether the yogurt is made from skim milk or whole milk and what kind of fruit and sweetening is added. "Yogurt is not like ketchup, which all tastes the same," explains Edward Gelsthorpe, president of H.P. Hood dairy. "It can go all the way from a very tart, thick product...
