...Religious Sciences in Bologna, also examined the new document and promptly issued a 60-page attack on it. They used an unorthodox but ingenious tool to aid their analysis: a computer. The team fed into it terms from both the proposed Lex and Vatican II documents. The computer revealed distinct differences between them. "Although the Lex is filled with references to the council," Alberigo charged, "its faithfulness to it is much less real than a superficial reading would indicate." As examples, he cited some 180 references to church, most of which were used to mean "an authority different from...
...photographs were as scientifically valuable as they were scenic. A panoramic shot of the mountains, for example, showed distinct layering on the different slopes. But surprisingly, the layers slant in one direction in some places and take a sharply different course in others. Since the layers were probably laid down by the same lava flows, why did they veer off in different directions? The most likely explanation, according to Paul Gast, chief of lunar and planetary science at Houston's Manned Spacecraft Center, is that these flows probably preceded the cataclysmic event (presumably a large meteor impact) that created...
Different Episodes. One sample that especially attracted their attention was the 8-ft.-long core that the astronauts had struggled to extract from the moon. In the first three of five core sections, they found 24 distinct layers of material. Just as tree rings reveal clues to yearly climate changes, each layer in the core should provide evidence of different episodes in the moon's history...
Though the American Orthodox Church maintains cordial ties with Perry's denomination, it has a "high church" tone markedly distinct from the evangelical character of the Metropolitan Community churches. Until three years ago, Father Robert M. Clement, 46, the New York denomination's mustachioed, long-haired founder, was a priest in the Polish National Catholic

Egypt, for example, relies almost totally on Moscow for military equipment, including some sophisticated Soviet aircraft-a handful of MIG-235 and about 20 SU-11s the hottest planes in the Russian air force. Even so, President Anwar Sadat told a closed session of his Arab Socialist Union two weeks ago that Egypt would never become Communist, would never recognize an Arab Communist government and would continue to resist Communism throughout the Arab world.
