...under a different name, which is a point of some significance. Prior to her martyrdom, Teresa's name was Edith Stein, and she was born Jewish. The consequences of that status led Jewish leaders last week to term the canonization "problematic," "offensive" and "an attempt to appropriate the Holocaust without coming to grips with it." They see it as part of a dissonant motif in Pope John Paul II's otherwise triumphant symphony of Catholic-Jewish brotherhood--a masterwork that is very much part of his grand plan for the church's millennial jubilee...
...period of slavery. It distorts and exploits history and desecrates the bones of our ancestors!" thundered Danny Bakewell, president of the Brotherhood Crusade, a black activist group. Last week he led pickets outside the Paramount studios, where Pfeiffer is shot. "They wouldn't do anything comedic about the Jewish Holocaust, and rightfully so," said Bakewell.

The author also leaves the reader in a state of disturbed speculation. If Holocaust revisionism becomes accepted history, how long will it take for Hitler...
...disgraceful that baseball, a sport abounding with overpaid players, graces your cover while the virtual holocaust of famine occurring in Sudan is tucked inside. It is shameful that a sport and its millionaire players can warrant more of TIME's attention than 2.6 million starving Sudanese, of whom 350,000 may be facing death. KRISTIN CAM Springfield...
