...Proudly Impious. Hedley has a neat answer for Superstition No. 1: "that the content and emphasis of religious thought undergo no change." Says Dr. Hedley, who believes man's knowledge of God can expand as much as his knowledge of science: "The proudly impious yet persist in judging all religion by their own childhood memories . . . Perhaps it is well that [they] did not meet Albert Einstein until they got into Upper Division courses, John Dewey until they entered Teachers' College; or, on as good grounds as they can show for religion, they might have declared physics and philosophy...
...They are expanding-almost twice as fast as during World War II. The expansion will cost at least $6 billion. Even Washington bureaucrats, often critical of the industry's monolithic stubbornness in the past, concede that steelmakers cannot expand any faster without crippling civilian and defense production. And no one has set a higher target than the steelmakers' own Joe Magarac: the $2,829,000,000 U.S. Steel Corp., sired by J. P.

"We hope to expand the project when response and finances have improved," Kennan said last night. "Funds have been earmarked for expansion and for a Southeastern Asian student seminar," he added. The ISIS is financed with bequests, from private benefactors and foundations, who contribute the necessary $30 a month needed to print the Bulletin...
...stopped and asked a resident for an explanation. Snapped John Novak: "There is no ghost, and no child was killed on this street. We have been hearing this knock for three years-ever since they put in the new pavement of cement slabs. In the daytime, the slabs expand in the sun's heat. In the evening, the concrete contracts, and the slabs wobble when a car goes over it." The edges grate on each other, and the noise echoes in the car. Grumbled Novak: "I swear that nearly every high-school kid in Detroit has driven this street...
