...found it prudent to get out of the country for a while and moved to France. In 1919, as a draftee in the French navy, Thang joined a Communist-led mutiny when his battleship sailed to the Black Sea port of Sevastopol with other Allied vessels in an effort to overthrow the Bolshevik regime. He was expelled from the service and returned to Indo-China, where in 1929 he was sent to the penal colony at Poulo Condore for seditious activity.

A successful program was created by the University of Nebraska for elementary and secondary schools; it incorporates religious viewpoints on various topics in English courses. Florida, in a promising new effort, combines religion with social studies rather than with literature, and uses historic documents and sermons to illustrate religious influence on various periods. For states that have not yet created a program, though, there may be a simpler solution: an ambitious new book called The Bible Reader: An Interfaith Interpretation (Bruce...
