...saying, Judge J. Edward Lumbard of the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals snatched back $125,002 that Author A.E. Hotchner thought he had won last year in a libel suit.

The book, by Freelance Writers (and sisters) Mary and Ellen Lukas, is not the full-dress exposition of Teilhard's thought that English Actor-Author Robert Speaight achieved in his 1967 Life of Teilhard de Chardin. The Lukases' reportage tells of the man behind the legend, providing much new material culled from ten years of interviewing Teilhard's friends and acquaintances...
