...answer was implicit in his reply to a student teacher who wanted to know what he could do about five white children who keep tormenting a little Negro girl in his class. His assumption is that when the legal and extra-legal barriers to communication between races are hewn down, people will begin to see that they're all brothers under the skin, that the same things make them laugh and cry and bleed. Agape will take over. Then Americans may know the "majestic heights of being obedient to the unenforceable...
...with the firm's president-and saw his own strike committee promptly repudiate the agreement. He further alienated the rank and file by successfully backing a crony, without significant mill experience, for a union vice-presidency in 1955 against the candidacy of the Buffalo district's rough-hewn Irish leader, Joseph P.

He commands respect, he commands obedience, and he commands a certain amount of controversy. His own boss, Oriole General Manager Lee MacPhail, calls him "no great shakes as a baseball strategist" and says that he "manages by instinct." But Third...
...task of translation. Fuchs and Ebeling agree that one basic problem is understanding how language itself not only expressed what the Biblical writers had to say, but also, by the nature of language, limited what they could say. Thus, the peculiar qualities of 1st century koinonia Greek, a rough-hewn language less graceful than the classical tongue of Sophocles, may have prevented St. Paul from expressing all he meant to say. Hermeneutic seeks to analyze the degree to which the Biblical writer's inner meaning was helped or hindered by the cultural instruments available...
