...academic or institutional subset thereof. In his Letter to the Faculty. Dean Rosovsky bemoans the fact that the diversity of the students body, the size of the University, and its location in an urban environment have a "fragmenting effect" on the student body.

In an interview on British television, he declared that the U.S. aim is "to get enough market power to hasten OPEC'S demise," referring to the producers' cartel, the 13-nation Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.

The Pope did not explain why, but speculation is that he favors the elitist tradition and fears anything that might hasten radical changes. The fathers nevertheless debated the fourth vow; some proposed doing away with it altogether. Last week, however, the Congregation voted to extend it to all Jesuit priests. (Nonordained Jesuit brothers would still be excluded, as they now are.) This not only ignored Cardinal Villot's warning...
