Such Eyes! There is only one flaw in Raquel's career so far: no one has seen her movies. She made Fantastic Voyage, playing a nurse who journeys through a man's bloodstream, and One Million B.C., in which she had but two words, "Tumak" and "Akita," but got to wear a doeskin bikini. Those films have not yet been released. But the bikini brought her to the attention of foreign moviemakers, who promptly cast her in seven major pictures, all of which still have to see the light of day. She is now winding up work...
...left foot high above his head-higher than any other pitcher in memory-he seems almost, for an instant, to be suspended on strings. Then, in one bewildering blur, he sweeps forward to release the ball, often so violently that he staggers sideways off the mound.

Whether this omission happened by accident or design, you have managed to reveal one great flaw in your approach and in the whole modern approach to religion-the absence of love. Your article would have brought more light to this vital issue if those who wrote it had first asked themselves, "Is modern man unfeeling?" and "Is love dead...
