...proposals, which emphasize human rights rather than church discipline, deal not only with the canon-law code but with basic constitutional problems of the church. Arguing that the church should incorporate more of today's democratic ideals in its structure, they urge a more distinct separation of executive, legislative and judicial functions. Under the present code, explained Jesuit Ladislas Orsy of Catholic University, there is a certain "imbalance" in church government: in practice, the offices of the Roman Curia both plan church regulations and enforce them. A wiser mode of government would be to have the law-creating function...
Though it is only common sense to de-emphasize the party label in areas where a candidate's party is in a distinct minority, the tactic is no longer so clear-cut. Republicans and Democrats-and not only in the South-are both playing the no-party game. Emotional issues such as Viet Nam and the race question are not delineated neatly by party or region, and thus many candidates' overt ties with the national parties seem, on the surface, to be more financial than ideological...

Arriving in the pelting rain, the guests had no sooner ducked under the stone canopy than they discovered that the bridge ahead of them (see opposite) was bone dry, sheltered by the towering, projecting museum wings overhead.

...distinct feature of the new liability trend is to "shift the risk" to the defendant who can insure against it on the largest scale. Detroit auto engineers would probably not be held personally liable, for example, since the theory is that big auto companies can take out insurance against defective design and spread the cost among hundreds of thousands of purchasers, each of whom is charged a few more cents for his new car. In addition, today's wise manufacturer ignores his own heady advertising and urges customers to return defective products for repairs, thus giving him the information...
