Plain, pious U. S. Roman Catholics hear little of the tremendous widening of modern Catholic theology in Europe. There the most influential lay Catholic thinker is a mild-mannered little Frenchman, Jacques Maritain, convert to the faith and professor at the Institut Catholique in Paris. Maritain is a follower of the great medieval doctor of the Church, St. Thomas Aquinas. In Neo-Thomism, based upon the monumental Summae of St. Thomas, Maritain sees the unique cure for modern ills. Seeking, like Karl Barth, to rescue civilization from humanism and revive pure Christianity, Neo-Thomism does not "annihilate man before...
...baiting Dictator Metaxas, unable to lay his hands on the rebels, last week did the next best thing. He court-martialed the 42 leaders in absentia. Sentences: death for four, including former Minister of National Economy Aristomenis Mitsotakis, nephew of Greece's late Republican firebrand Eleutherios Venizelos; life imprisonment for three; one to 25 years' imprisonment for 35 others. As a special inducement the condemned men were informed that if they gave themselves up in a month they would have the right to appeal their sentences...

Residents of Port Orford, Ore. made a great to-do last week about a mislaid meteorite. Somewhere in the wilderness to the southeast lay a huge clod of stone and metal. Exactly where it was, only one person thought he knew. In 1859 Dr. John Evans, a U. S. Government geologist, stumbled on a meteoritic body, almost entirely buried, whose mass he estimated at 22,000 Ib. A 25-gram sample was sent to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. The meteorite was classified as a pallasite-a mixture of olivine (green magnesium iron silicate) and metallic iron. Unfortunately, before...
...passengers ashore. Best alternative was to use the harbor at sleepy St. George, where the piers are owned by the St. George Corporation. Hitch there was that there was only one hotel, the St. George, which is so regularly patronized that it never needs to advertise. Obvious solution lay in the ship-hotel idea, used successfully for years by cruise ships in Bermuda, but not by regularly scheduled steamers...
