...Christian and early Byzantine antiquities. These facets are many. Since the Byzantine Empire extended roughly from the Adriatic on the West, the Danube on the North, the Euphrates on the East, and Palestine on the South, students must be able to command not only Greek, Latin, and French, but German, and the Slavic tongues or Arabic depending on the scholar's inclination...
...three-volume Systematic Theology. Apart from his lighter writing and lecturing on everything from modern art to depth psychology, Harvard's Tillich is attempting to construct a modern Protestant "system"-fitting all aspects of the Christian faith together in a single intellectual whole. To this titanic task German-born Paul Tillich brought a Teutonic ponderosity in Volume I, published six years ago. It was constructed on a plan called "correlation" (existential question paired with theological answer), with such brain-busting results that even many of his fellow theologians were hard put to follow...
Medicine has largely debunked the cruder old wives' tales, e.g., that a strawberry birthmark follows a strawberry-eating jag by the mother-to-be.

...Decline of the West Oswald Spengler announced with a certain gloomy satisfaction that "the Caesarism that is to succeed approaches with quiet, firm step." History was always goose-stepping its way through the centuries in Spengler's vision. Compared with his German mentor France's Amaury de Riencourt, 38, a freelance writer and lecturer who now lives in the U.S., is more amiable, less apocalyptic. Compared either with Spengler or other determinist philosophers of history- Toynbee, Pareto, Marx-Author de Riencourt works on an intellectual shoestring...
