...lenges today. A sensible middle way would see the church lending its weight to nonviolent reform-as Chilean Theo logian Hernan Larrain puts it, "Christianizing the inevitable revolution." In a few areas, Catholicism has had the time and talent to do so. In Venezuela, for example, the clergy has helped cut illiteracy from 50% to 12% in the past decade. One shrewd but practical way of accomplishing this was to require penitents to teach illiterates how to read and write as penance for their sins. In Panama, a popular American priest, Father Leo Mahon, has successfully combined Peace Corps techniques...

He also hopes to prepare more students for these universities by accenting modern science and living languages, rather than classics and Latin, in the lycees (secondary schools...
...Engineering Corp. who designed the X-ray telescope system are confident that their photographs will give new insights into the still-mysterious nature of the workings of the sun. Eventually, study of these X-ray outbursts may provide a better understanding of the cause of solar-magnetic disturbances and help scientists to forecast flares. Such early warnings could be vital to astronauts exploring the surface of the moon. Unless they take cover in their spacecraft before a hail of particles arrives from the sun, the explorers could receive a deadly dose of radiation...
