...regular nine o'clock class over, he dawdles in the Farnsworth Room awhile, stops at the shelves that hold the priceless Arden Shakespeare and picks out "The Comedy of Errors". (His tutor played Antipholus of Ephesus in an amateur production of it once.) The Vagabond noses through half of the "Comedy" and compares it with the Elizabethan translation of Plautus's "Menochmi" (or "The Two Menechmuses' as some Elizabethans called it) which Shakespeare used in his play. The "Menochmi" is reprinted in Appendix B of the Arden edition. The Vagabond, if he had the money, would buy the Arden Shakespeare...

Published in Latin and Italian, broadcast in Latin from Station HVJ, Lux Veritatis was summarized only briefly in English. Pius...
...fold. Lux Veritatis treats in great detail the judgments of the Council of Ephesus, summarized thus: "Thatin Jesus Christ the true natures, divine and human, are united in one only divine person (hypostatic union); that the Virgin Mary is the true Mother of God; and that to the Roman Pontiff belongs by divine right a supreme and infallible authority over the whole church in matters of faith and morals." The Pope is "confident that [Protestants and Eastern Christians] becoming convinced by history, life's teacher, will be able to feel at least a longing for one fold under...
