...Republicans, however, need not worry. The Democratic front-runner is no threat to their comfortable middle-class lives; he can't afford to be. For all their burnt-out slums and depreciating bank notes, New Yorkers are a singularly immovable lot--and no political reformer, no matter how irresistable, can do anything about it. Koch sees this; anyone who saw the agony of the last few years of John Lindsay's administration has to know it. Of course, there are the minority groups: anyone who lives in Bedford Stuyvesant or the South Bronx cannot fail to want change. But most...
...clear and straight forward, and those who say they are following Christ have no hesitation in discussing them, despite occasional sneers from fellow students. John Duff '78 says it is particularly important to face the questions of non-Christians. "We are at Harvard and there are an awful lot of people who think what we believe is a lot of baloney and that we're backward. It's an atmosphere in which people are questioning our beliefs all the time and we have to face those questions," he says...

Science only describes something the way it normally happens. A miracle isn't normal. You can also look at the New Testament as a historical document. I'm very impressed with the evidence for that. This summer I ran into somebody who believed the Bible was written years after the events to oppress the poor. That's not an informed opinion. The Book of John was written by an eyewitness...
...trap students get into, a situation not reconcilable with a lifestyle whose highest priority is prayer and Bible study. Pierce mentions the "flagrant immorality" at Harvard that he often finds hard to take. All agree, however, that God wants Christians to live in the world, and that the Christians' lot is not meant to be an easy one anywhere...
