...Though Leavis claims in his preface "no personal animus" against Snow, his criticism is too emotional, too insulting to be anything but a personal attack. "The Two Cultures exhibits an utter lack of distinction, and an embarrassing vulgarity of style...if his lecture has any value...it is a document for the study of cliche." Such statements are unmistakable in their tone, their emphasis, their unnecessary sharpness. They make interesting reading, but convince no one. His motives remain highly suspicious...
...Majesty's Stationery Office announced jubilantly last week that the celebrated blue-bound volume entitled Lord Denning's Report (price: $1.05) had sold nearly 100,000 copies in 24 hours, an alltime record for an official document.

Top U.S. intelligence officials countered that army leaders had been coerced into signing the document...
...manifesto, said the Rt. Rev. Stephen Bayne, executive officer of the Anglican Communion, could be "either the biggest lead balloon or the most dramatic document in our history." It calls upon the Anglican churches to share their financial and human resources for the good of the entire Communion, and specifically to join in raising $15 million within the next five years largely for missionary churches...
