Father Hillman finds no difficulty in the Biblical injunction (Genesis 2:24): "Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife and they become one flesh." Polygamy was common among the ancient Jews, he points out, and in the marriage laws of Moses, the word wife "is used regularly with reference to marriage cases which may be either polygamous or monogamous." Nor does polygamy violate the concept of "one flesh." Just as "the several children of one mother may be regarded as 'one flesh' with her by reason of their unity in generation...
...Finley and other Masters who favor such plans as paying tutors for specified jobs instead of giving them free room and board advance their plans tentatively. They are sensitive to the conflict between formal arrangements which will extract the House's pound of flesh from its senior and junior associates and the goal of such schemes--energizing informal relationships. The most fascinating question before Ford's new committee will be whether structural changes are adequate to cure the ills of the Houses...
Then there is the artifice of diffusion, that lively apologist for lives as well as works.

The mortal sins, in this new morality, are not those of the flesh but those of society; more important than the evil man does to himself is the evil he does to his fellow man. "The Christian's role is to bear witness to God in man," says Jesuit Clinical Psychologist Carlo Weber. "Jesus Christ is the wedding of the divine...
...endure while simultaneously marking a new level in his progress. The frozen shots intercut with the light sequences show, debatably, Bowman's horror in terms of perception and physical ordeal, and his physical death: the last of many multi-colored solarized close-ups of his eye appears entirely flesh-colored and, if we are justified in creating a color metaphor, the eye is totally wasted, almost subsumed into a pallid flesh. When man journeys far enough into time and space, Kubrick and Clarke are saying, man will find things he has no right...
