This-Worldly God. The secular city demands not only a renewed message from the church but a renewed lan guage. Technopolis, Cox argues, sees no meaning in religious terminology derived from tribal society-God as Father, for example-or even in the metaphysical discourse of town culture that defined God as Supreme Being. Its proper language is, in the broadest sense of the word, politics. Thus, says Cox, if the church is to preach God to the emerging secular city, it must find a secular, pragmatic way of proclaiming him in mis-worldly terms. This will not be easily...
...situation really gets ugly. Here come several hundred other Lan celotians marching behind loudspeaker trucks. In their own tongue-a kind of pidgin Spanish-they shout anti-American slogans. They hurl fistfuls of sand in the Marines' faces, threaten them, push them and form human barricades. They are then joined in their hostility by the natives who originally had welcomed the Marines. "Form wedges! Form wedges, goddammit!" cries a harassed Marine sergeant. Finally, the Marines disperse the mob and start pushing inland...
Attacks from Within. Liberal Alberto Lleras Camargo, who became Colombia's first coalition President in 1958, was an able administrator who held the frente together by sheer statesmanship.

Famed for his gallantry to the ladies and a romantic passion for hunting...
...attributed to the attitude of the press. Most major California newspapers opposed Goldwater, including the staunchly Republican Los Angeles Times, which campaigned against him on Page One. Nearly all of the scores of reporters visiting California for the campaign thought that Rockefeller would win, wrote endlessly of the élan in his camp and of the pall of gloom hanging over the Goldwater forces. Some of this stemmed from the personal political predilections of many of the newsmen. But it was more than that-for, to the reporter who did nothing more than travel around with the candidates, the atmosphere...
...deep and dangerous division between Canada's English-speaking majority and its French-speaking minority centered in the province of Quebec. To English Canadians, the Union Jack is a cherished symbol of Canada's strong allegiance to the mother country. But to French Canadians-with their own lan guage, Roman Catholic religion and cultural identity-the Union Jack is an ugly reminder of Quebec's forcible conquest by England in 1759, and what they regard as their own second-class status ever since...
