...liberals reason that a sizable vote for Tower, 42, the state's first G.O.P. Senator since Reconstruction, would enhance liberal influence in Democratic ranks and ultimately help to open the way for a genuine two-party system in Texas politics.

No easy target, Candidate Carr, 48, piled up more votes (1,900,000) in 1964 than any other office seeker in the state's history. All the same, there are some 30,000 to 40,000 hard-core liberal...

Working along with engineers and scientists, says Dr. Boatman, these men will develop new techniques-for heart trouble, strokes, cancer-the list is endless...
From its beginning, said Pusey, the Divinity School has been torn between the need to devote itself to theological scholarship and the desire to provide the "kind of learning, not wholly gained from books, that a man could take with him into the world to help him in the care and cure of souls." Pusey fears that all the arguments over religious doctrine and the place of religion in a university have never really been settled and still lie in wait to ambush today's theologians...
