Hats off to David Aikman [July 31], who has the clarity of mind, the moral sense and the courage to expose the blind cruelty of Marxism when that atheistic, deterministic system runs its course unrestrained by Christian principles...

Two pages of dark, roiling skyscape follow lines on Pisan's "undoubtedly various" clouds. More often than not though, a photographic sight helps explain a sound. A line like "Can Grande's grin like Tommy Cochran...
