Poster Scribblings. In recent months, draconology has gained a new dimension with the rise of the Red Guards. In Hong Kong and Tokyo, U.S. China watchers have taken to combing the Japanese newspapers, which have nine correspondents in Peking, for rundowns on the latest wall-poster scribblings. Though the vast Japanese intelligence network in China was totally obliterated in 1945, Tokyo has skillfully exploited its growing trade ($638 million in 1966) and other contacts with China to build a surveillance operation that is second only to that...
These are examples of the latest in "minimal" art. The present art scene offers other creations: paintings that are an eye-blinding dazzle of stripes; canvases that are cantilevered from the wall right over the living-room sofa; gadgets that jiggle, wiggle, writhe and spin.

(But the Resurrection narratives in the Gospels are commonly recognized as belonging to the very latest strata in them.) (3) As to the area of agreement of the panel of theologians with the lawyer-lecture's view of the "authenticity of Christ's resurrection": the distinction here between the Resurrection as historical fact and theological affirmation is confused. Assent to the Resurrection in the latter sense should...
...portrait of a type of politics that died in Boston about 15 years ago. Ever since The Last Hurrah appeared in 1956, people have been expecting O'Connor to produce a novel on the style of the politics that's now practiced in Massachusetts. All in the Family, his latest book, is that novel...
