TROPICI opens in the brush of Northeast Brazil, where Miguel, a hired cattle herder, and his wife and children live. The owner of the herd has decided to move his cattle sough, and Miguel is now out of a job. Hearing of work in Recife, he buys passage on a truck for himself and his family, but fails to find employ there. A labor recruiter in Recife convinces him to make the long trip to Sao Paolo, again by truck. There he is hired as a construction worker on the Sao Paolo Hilton, and the films ends...
Rosemary Ruether, 31, challenges the reactionary character of institutional Christianity in The Church Against Itself (Herder and Herder; $5.50). Married and the mother of three, Mrs. Ruether has a doctorate in religion from California's Claremont Graduate School and is a lecturer at Howard University in Washington. She gained early notoriety as a Catholic controversialist with a 1964 article in the Saturday Evening Post called "Why I Believe in Birth Control," in which she argued that the church's ban on contraception was injurious to a healthy marriage. More recently, she has argued with equal vigor in favor...
Playing the imprimatur game can be as delicate as finding a publisher for a first novel. A classic case involved The Layman in the Church, a collection of essays from Commonweal magazine that was published by Herder and Herder in 1962.

Although the National Conference of Catholic Bishops this month decided that the catechism should not be used in parochial schools, some Catholic colleges have ordered it for their religion courses. What was written for the Dutch is apparently destined to instruct the world. In The Netherlands, where the catechism has sold more than 400,000 copies so far, its publishers report that...
...swinging example of her work has been published jointly by the United Church Press and the Roman Catholic firm of Herder and Herder. Footnotes and Headlines: A Play-Pray Book is a 50-page volume of mod meditations filled with brilliant swatches of color and eye-catching graphics. Most of Sister Corita's serigraphs use kaleidoscopic excerpts from advertising slogans blown up and tossed across the pages, often upside down, sideways or in mirror images. Accompanying them are quotations that range from Hasidic folk tales to Marshall McLuhan, all tied together with Sister Corita's own blank verse...
