Important for both Christian and Jewish history, however, is the similarity between the Essene rights and early Christian rituals. The Essenes had a sacramental meal which included the eating of the "feast of leviathan" and closely parallels the Lord's supper and the Eucharist rite.

"If the effects of this decision are not remedied," declaimed the Senate minority leader last week, the result may be "a centralized, all-powerful, leviathan Federal Government, clothed with power to convert citizens into subjects, and gradually shear away the freedoms they once knew...

Japanese shipyards lead the ways: under construction are eight tankers of more than 100,000 tons; on order are 19 more for delivery by the end of next year.
