...church. Celibacy as a sine qua non for the priesthood of the Latin Rite is a product neither of the demands of faith nor of the conclusions of sound theology. The stress on celibacy in Western Catholicism at times borders on the irrational. The Oriental Church has realized the error of identifying a vocation to the priesthood with a vocation to the celibate life...
...Cortina, Italy, when Germany's Anton Pensberger crashed to his death during last month's world championships. But the Mount Van Hoevenberg run at Lake Placid, N.Y., is another story. With its 16 low-banked curves, abnormally wide straightaways (which leave all the more room for error) and extra-high speeds (up to 90 m.p.h.), it has long enjoyed a sinister reputation as the world's most dangerous course. Since it was built in 1930, scores of sledders have been seriously injured, and three have been killed...
...passel of vulgar new-rich Texans pledge donations to found a college near by, in order to protect their young against the perils of an education at Harvard.

Actor Redford, as Bubber, plays a born loser engagingly but cannot quite mask the clear-eyed confidence of a boy born lucky.

While ordering books, the Coop generally asked for enough to supply the number of students who took the course the previous year -- the same way the Registrar's office assigned classrooms, and with the same predictable amount of error. For new courses it relied on professors' estimates or simply made a guess...

The Russian constructivists Naum Gabo and Antoine Pevsner issued a manifesto in 1920 proclaiming their freedom "from the 1,000-year-old error of art, originating in Egypt, that only static rhythms can be its elements. For present-day perception, the most important elements of art are the kinetic rhythms." Only a year earlier, a fellow constructivist, Vladimir Tallin, had designed a Monument to the Third International, a glass and iron tower...
