...necessity of explaining the prodigious outpouring of energy from such small bodies has generated some fantastic intellectual inventions, some of which may yet turn out to be accurate. Fred Hoyle and a California Institute of Technology colleague, William Fowler, have suggested that quasars might well be massive superstars whose nuclear fires have died down because of the depletion of their hydrogen fuel. Such stars, they say, would begin to collapse, contracting under their own gravity. And the tremendous energy released by matter falling toward the star centers might well be of a magnitude that could explain a quasar...

Unbound by church control, the magazine takes its stand with considerable passion, and almost always on the liberal and ecumenical side. At a time when most other Protestant magazines suspiciously viewed Roman Catholicism as a formidable monolith, C & C was inviting Catholic contributors to explain the church's views on issues that caused interfaith tensions. One article two years ago by Harvey Cox of the Harvard Divinity School suggested that it was time for Protestants to re-examine their attitude of total opposition to premarital sex. Another, by Pastor Howard Moody of Manhattan's Judson Memorial Church, proposed...
