...Catholic students at Harvard. The poll, mailed to over 800 members of the University (and answered by 176), asked three questions: "I. How would you characterize your intellectual background in religion when you arrived at Harvard? II. While at Harvard, how has your religion been affected--helped or hindered... III. Conversely, how has your religion affected--helped or hindered-- your own intellectual development, social situation, and moral life?" The editors have not attempted to give a statistical breakdown of replies to the poll. Instead they have looked for "a test of attitudes, a sense of the believer's strains...
...fairly conspicuous place in the history of 19th century French romantic art. But his most avid readers are usually unaware of his 450 drawings and watercolors, and even such biographers as Andre Maurois and Matthew Josephson scarcely mention this appealing side. Hugo's writings, his quarrel with Napoleon III, and his prodigious sex life have overshadowed his art. Yet last week, as the consequence of a show put up in his old Paris home (now a state museum) to mark the looth anniversary of the publication of Les Miserables, Parisians were belatedly discovering Hugo as an artist...
...weight too. The luxurious French Facel-Vega, for instance, has added a four-door model (both side doors open dramatically away from each other without a center post) that lacks the sprung elegance of the smaller two-door style. Even Rolls-Royce boasts that the new Silver Cloud III (with its four Detroit-style headlights) is roomier than ever...
...Five temples are on the bargain counter. Three of them: Dendur, dedicated by Caesar Augustus to two drowned heroes; Dabod. built by a Nubian king; and Taffeh, built during the Roman period, have already been dismantled and moved to safe, high ground. The other two: Ellesya, built by Thutmosis III 3,500 years ago, and Derr, built by Ramses II, are, like Abu Simbel. cut from rock. They must be pried loose from the cliff before they can be moved. A group of Italian institutions is reportedly interested in Ellesya, and the U.S. has cast envious eyes at Derr...
Miracle of the White Stallions. "My kingdom for a horse!" cried Richard III at Bosworth Field. He probably meant a Spanish horse. Some of the finest war horses of the Renaissance were derived from a mixture of Spanish and Arab stock, and in 1565 Maximilian II of Austria made military news of some magnitude when he imported a string of steel-white Spanish steeds to his estate at Lipizza. In 1735 the Spanish Riding School was established in Vienna to train the finest Lipizzan stallions in the classic battle tactics devised by a French riding master named Antoine Pluvinel. Bonapartes...
