...history of U.S. foreign aid is one of changing goals, phased in and then phased out as they succeeded gloriously or were abandoned in panic.

Next, the U.S. chipped in to establish UNRRA, a desperate charity aimed at stopping hunger in a war-destroyed world. It filled a lot of bellies and the pockets of countless profiteers.

...rethinking eucharistic doctrine, the theologians speak of the "signchange" that takes place in the elements in existential categories rather than sticking to the static, mechanistic terms of the Scholastics. Their basic point is that the change takes place amid what they call an "inter-person activity": the encounter of man and God at the Mass. There Christ gives himself, makes himself present, to his people. Father Smits compares Christ's giving himself to the gesture of a Dutch housewife who offers her guests tea and cookies. Just as the housewife offers not food itself but her welcome "incarnated...
