Complete calm comes from complete certainty. In today's unnerving, globalizing, sometimes terrifying world, such religious certainty is a balm more in demand than ever. In the new millennium, Muslims are not alone in grasping the relief of submission to authority. The new Pope, despite his criticism of extremist religion and religious violence, represents a return to a more authoritarian form of Catholicism. In the Catholic triad of how we know truth--an eternal dialogue between papal authority, scriptural guidance and the experience of the faithful--Benedict XVI has tilted the balance decisively back toward his own unanswerable truth...
...Jennifer N. Wynn ’06. “How can we coalesce and really make things happen strategically and collectively?” The sessions included Cambridge mayor Kenneth E. Reeves ’72 speaking about “Politics in the New Millennium,” and Emmy-winning CNN White House correspondent Suzanne M. Malveaux ’89 and President of Entertainment for BET Reginald A.

In Australia and New Zealand, various groups are pushing for numerous anti-fat measures, including taxing high-kilojoule foods, restricting junk-food advertising and cranking up the frequency and intensity of physical education classes...
OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN'S REFRAIN of "Let's get physical," along with the ubiquity of Lycra, started it in the 1980s. Aerobics helped push it into the '90s, and yoga certainly added an aura to the category in the new millennium. Chanel, Prada, Dior and Hugo Boss all capitalized on it a few seasons ago. Activewear has come a long way from the gym and, thanks to relaxed dress codes inaugurated by casual Fridays, it has become a uniform for more and more Americans. But it's not about cotton T shirts and sweats anymore. Today activewear can mean everything...
