...divinity, the book declares that they regarded Joseph as the natural father of Jesus, whose Passion and death were proof that he was simply a great prophet and righteous man. On the grounds that Jesus himself was an observant Jew, the Nazarenes practiced circumcision, abstained from eating forbidden foods, faced toward Jerusalem when praying, and observed the Sabbath on Saturday instead of Sunday. The Nazarenes refused to celebrate Christmas, which they regarded as a pagan feast...

Last week, five days after Balaguer defeated Bosch in the country's presidential elections, the two met for the first...

Ten years ago, Australia had to import all of its aluminum; until six years ago, iron-ore exports were forbidden because the government believed there was only enough to supply domestic needs for a generation. All that negative thinking has been swept away by recent discoveries of natural gas, bauxite, copper, manganese, silver, uranium, tin, nickel, zinc and lead. Coal exports have jumped from $26 million in 1962 to $68 million...
