...about to charge me with wrenching such examples out of context. Well, I'll admit you may have me there. But then it is very hard to determine whether Three Thirty Six has any context at all. I mean it comes out of an office in between Ivy Films and McGovern for President and it seems to spend half its time billing parents, taking portraits, and selling its product, but as for a theme...or a concept...or a unifying principle...well, I guess there just wasn't time...
...consider the context he is working in, all this is understandable. A critic in a buyer's mass market must think in terms of personal power to keep security, even sanity, intact.

Every reporter I have talked with since your publication of the story was likewise surprised that TIME would print...
...Outler commission's solution qualifies the traditional creeds-Wesley's Articles and the E.U.B. Confession of Faith-with explanatory statements warning that they should be interpreted within their historical context. The statements maintain that Wesley and the E.U.B. patriarchs made "doctrinal pluralism" a major tenet and held to only a basic core of Christian truth-but the statements stop short of specifying what that core...
