...noon Mass in the nursingschool dormitory of Boston College one Sunday this month, Father F. X. Shea let it be known that the subject of the sermon was pain. But instead of delivering a homily, he challenged his congregation of 27 students to explain what pain meant to them. "There's a lot to be gained in suffering, and a nurse can help a patient learn that," said one girl. "But does the God you believe in have a vested interest in pain, to make people grow by insights through pain?" challenged the priest. "We make most...
...describes the conferences that lead up to his corporate takeovers as "war games." Last week, after a long war game, Ling made a tender offer for a controlling 62% of the stock of Pittsburgh's Jones & Laughlin Steel Co., the nation's fifth largest steelmaker.

...around in brand new denim coveralls with cars from California that have SCLC bumper stickers next to Bobby Kennedy bumper stickers. Even if this thing ends in violence (it is already confused and frustrated, and that combination often leads to violence), this is not a revolution, nor what it meant to be. Everything the Poor People want has already been proposed by the Johnson Administration, the Urban Coalition, or the Kerner Commission. The only thing really new is a guaranteed income, and SCLC only wants it for "those either too young, too old, or too handicapped to work...
