Following the example of Jesus, who read and interpreted Hebrew scripture for his followers, Catholics place great importance on intellectual analysis of religious topics in partnership with a strong faith in the inexplicable presence of God. With the hope of inspiring healing dialogue among Catholics and others, I will attempt to shed light on the often misinterpreted teachings of the Church on homosexuality. I hope this analysis will help the Harvard community strengthen the atmosphere of mindfulness toward its own actions and beliefs...
This time the U.S. has some better ideas about where to find Scud launchers. Israeli special forces belonging to a unit called Shaldag (Hebrew for "Kingfisher") have been conducting reconnaissance missions in western Iraq, looking for likely launch sites that are near good hiding places. Israeli intelligence has identified for the U.S. these possible launch areas as well as the best elevated positions from which to keep track of them. Washington has promised Israel that U.S. commandos would be sent into western Iraq in the war's opening minutes to hunt down the Scud systems and call in air strikes...
...after the Gulf War. "You sniff around in the western desert," says a U.S. official, "and try to get an idea about those hardened concrete bunkers that Saddam has created to put his Scuds in." In the past few years, members of an Israeli special-forces unit called Shaldag, Hebrew for "Kingfisher," have taken part in the Scud hunt. There are only a few dozen Shaldag fighters, trained to stay in the field for weeks at a time. Sources say that should a war start, Israel will ask the U.S. to allow it to contribute a few three-man teams...
...coincidence that this new arc begins at this loaded, occult number. Readers of Alan Moore's recent work, most notably "From Hell," have gotten used to his fascination with the connections between physics and metaphysics. For this journey Promethea follows the Kabbalah, AKA "The Tree of Life," a Hebrew glyph of ten interconnected numbers laid out like a hopscotch pattern. Dedicating one issue to each "sephiroth," or number, Moore imagines each one as a real place corresponding to a part of our solar system, an aspect of divinity, and a card in the tarot deck. As Promethea travels to each...
...overcome, this series depicts the overcoming of reality. This narrative requires a different, refreshing way of reading a "superhero" book. It's more like one of those smart travelogues that doubles as an essay. "We're in the mercurial realm of language, magic and intellect. It's Hebrew name is 'Hod.' That means splendor," is a typical bit of sometimes overly-didactic dialogue. Moore delights in revealing how everything ties together, sometimes leaving the reader feeling lectured. Even so, he is enough of a storyteller to never let us go too long without some adventure. Issue 16 has Promethea perilously...
