...valley of the shadow of death ..." They heard the words of St. Paul to the Romans: "For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God." They all rose and sang with remarkable force a 19th century hymn: "I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;/ Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness." The church was not really sad just then-the significance of the moment to the men and women there went beyond grief. Hate died. As the service ended, there seemed to be almost a conscious effort...
Totally frustrated, Whitlam tried to upset the balance in the Senate by persuading a longtime foe, Senator Vincent Gair, to accept the ambassadorship to Ireland.

...rabbinical body, the Central Conference of American Rabbis, has issued a new Haggadah, copiously and dramatically illustrated, that restores the old sense of ritual to the ancient celebration that begins this week. The plagues are back, though with a difference ("Our triumph is diminished by the slaughter of the foe"), and so is the closing wish for reunion in Jerusalem. The revised rite even endorses a search for the hametz, in which pieces of leavened bread are hidden so that children can have the delight of hunting for them...
