...ability to express himself with elegance and precision is highly prized at the Quai. Novelist Remain Gary and Playwright Jean Giraudoux were foreign service officers; Poet St. John Perse (actually Alexis Leger) rose to the No. 2 post at the Quai; and Stendhal wrote The Charterhouse of Parma while in the diplomatic corps. Richelieu once effortlessly composed a 500-line insert for Corneille's verse drama, Le Cid, to replace a passage of the author's that Richelieu thought in bad taste...
...Wealth of Truth. Even in the area of church teaching, development is far from impossible, said Dopfner, since "a dogma as such is not finally synonymous with divine truth but only incompletely expresses the wealth of divine truth because it sees revelation in human terms." This does not mean that the church can recant or change dogmatic definitions of the past, but it can discover new aspects of truth and find new ways to express traditional teaching...
That purpose, unfortunately, has been greatly obscured by overly appreciative critics. The New York Review of Books could express its raptures only by predicting the imminent eclipse of Renoir, Resnais, and Fellini. This is ludicrous. To compare Kubrick with European directors is to denigrate the achievements of both. Kubrick attempts no subtle characterization, and few cinematic tricks. Using, rather than probing, neuroses, he fills his screen with comic stereotypes, all conventionally focused in stark black and white. Except for several shots of mushroom clouds and B-52's, the movie could easily be adapted to the stage...
California's Pacifica Foundation, which operates radio stations in the San Francisco area, Los Angeles and New York, is a sort of low-frequency Hyde Park Speakers' Corner, providing broadcasting facilities for almost anyone who wants to express any point of view. Graphic sexology and earnest Communism often reach the air through Pacifica stations, plus smatterings of scatology and black magic, not to mention any number of broadcasts of the plays of Shakespeare, the works of Wagner, and the theological sentiments of people like George Herbert and John Donne...
...thing that made him distinctive: a 2,300-lb. sugar cookie that the lad had baked himself. Nowadays, the nation's airlines are willing to carry almost anything-including some substantial losses-in the rush to fill their cargo bins. Air freight (excluding air mail and air express) has increased more than 50% in the last four years, reaching a volume of $230 million last year. This year it will increase another 10%, and aviation experts believe that it may some day rival passenger travel as a source of airline income...
