...life. How the holiness of human life can in any way be abrogated by a mere technology (the pill) is very unclear in the encyclical. Is fear for the stability of a social structure, the family, in any way the same as fear for one's salvation? The latter is a true religious question, while the former...
...presidential election has gone to the House only twice, in 1801 and 1825. In the latter case, John Quincy Adams won, although he had trailed Andrew Jackson in both popular and electoral votes.* There are other dangers as well. If the House and Senate are controlled by different parties and vote along party lines, the President and Vice President could conceivably be of different parties.

Far from stagnating in the world of commercial mystery films, Chabrol has emerged the finest new stylist in France, far superior to Truffaut (whose Bride Wore Black pales in comparison), and in many ways surpassing Godard and Resnais...
