...Farrakhan: I don't feel that we can go down the road to liberation without a John Jacob, without a Jesse Jackson, without a Dorothy Height, without a Coretta Scott King or a Congressional Black Caucus or an N.A.A.C.P...
...surprisingly, the new books are controversial. Jacob Neusner, professor of religious studies at the University of South Florida, calls the Jesus Seminar "either the greatest scholarly hoax since the Piltdown Man or the utter bankruptcy of New Testament studies -- I hope the former." Other scholars question the use of the Thomas and the hypothetical Q. The effect is like looking through the wrong end of a telescope at a vanishing Jesus. In his forthcoming The Gospel of Jesus (Westminster), William R. Farmer, professor emeritus of the New Testament at Southern Methodist University, decries the latest Q theory because it leads...
...nothing less than the definition of a field. God bless the Philistines interred at Ashkelon, and God bless those who have exhumed their remains. But Semitic scholarship is no longer riveted simply on monuments and shards. Semitic cultures and civilizations survive and flourish in our time.

Stein complained that the inquiry keeps expanding "like a balloon." Asked he: "Where...

Freud's German origins have suggested to some critics that early works like Girl with Roses, 1947-48, a portrait of his first wife, Kitty Garman, daughter of the sculptor Jacob Epstein, were done under the spell of the German Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) portraiture of the 1920s -- painters like Otto Dix or Christian Schad. Actually the basis was much earlier: Albrecht Durer, whose fixedly staring, ultradetailed watercolors set Freud's first standards about the inspection of faces and bodies...
