...developing a "theology of celebration," based on joy, hope and even fantasy, Cox concludes, "we can celebrate the past, delight in the present, and gladly anticipate the future without sacrificing one to the other. Christ has come to previous generations of men in various guises, as teacher, judge, healer. Now, in a new or really an old but recaptured guise, Christ has begun to make an unexpected entrance onto the stage of modern secular life.

Connoisseur & Speculator. If that fight was a connoisseur's delight, Frazier's drubbing of Mathis was a speculator's dream. Back in 1965, a group of plungers risked $250 a share to form Cloverlay Inc., whose sole asset was Joe Frazier's punching power.

THIRTY years ago, when American intellectuals were talking European politics instead of the other way round, some of our better known play-wrights wrote with glaring naivete about countries and people they had no right to understand. Several noteworthy plays issued from this preoccupation-- Robert Sherwood's Idiots' Delight, Lillian Hellman's Watch on the Rhine--but they were marked either by inaccuracy, as in Sherwood's case, or by vagueness, as in Hellman's. The heart of America's fascination with fascism was ignorance, and to be alert and liberal was less than to be knowledgable...
