BEWARE OF EVIL, CHURCH TOLD. Despite its firmly conservative political views, the News never endorses a political candidate for local or national office. "We don't believe religion and politics mix," says Editor William Smart. George Romney, however, could present the paper with a dilemma. The first Mormon to be actively considered for the presidency, Romney also faithfully articulates the Mormon moral outlook. If he won the Republican nomination, the editors concede that they might break precedent and support him. The News was founded in 1850, three years after Brigham Young and his followers arrived in Salt Lake Valley...
...usual, though not at all invalid for being so. This Macbeth is a man of extra-ordinary physical energy, and one can understand at once why he has been so heroic a general in the field. Colicos makes clear that Macbeth would never have fallen into a career of evil if he had not been forcefully pushed into it by his wife (in fact, the early reign of the historical Macbeth was admirable--one of several aspects of Holinshed's Chronicles that Shakespeare suppressed or changed). This is not to deny Macbeth's ambition. Sure, he wanted to be king...
Glorious Gift. The frankness about sex even seems to carry the blessings of the highest moral authorities. Last October a British Council of Churches study group declined to censure premarital sex.

When the British woman's magazine Nova asked a mother what she would tell her daughter about sex when she reached 16, the mother replied: "Tell her? Probably buy her a diaphragm...

As the generations progressed, painted hives became a status symbol; prosperous owners hired itinerant painters to decorate each hive with as many as 60 panels. Styles be came baroque, subjects sly and secular, with folk tales and local gossip pre dominant. One panel, dated 1890, may have been done by an artist who knew his subject all too well. It shows a red-shirted farmer, holding a beehive, as he falls from a ladder...
...labor [and] encourages a primitive, fatalistic faith in chance," California's Bishop Gerald Kennedy says of his fellow ministers: "The boys today don't particularly make an issue of it." As for the Catholic Church, it has always held that gambling itself is neutral, that it becomes evil only when it involves excess, damage to one's family or connection with crime. Boston's Richard Cardinal Gushing says that if Massachusetts passes a lottery bill, he will be the first to buy a ticket...
