...find in this writing the very evolution of modern day football in which Forbes and Camp trade notes on a revolutionary new offensive strategy. Hand scrawled diagrams by Forbes depicting what are today the most elementary of plays smack of genius for that early...
...publisher can testify to the enormous numbers of books now sent to press, and the astronomical royalties or fees authors can receive--both phenomena unparalleled in the past even granting the natural, numerical increase in all the things of modern life. A flood of writing pours in from the publishing houses, but no corresponding rise in quality has occurred, no onslaught of genius.

That clipped series of radio messages-from an F-15 pilot reporting a "kill" during a training mission-tells much about modern air combat and why the planes best at it are in demand.

In a concluding proclamation, Küng states that he accepts the Chalcedon formula but that interpretations of it must follow the view of many modern scholars that Jesus did not proclaim himself as the eternal Son of God, nor did the early Christians. What is more, Küng argues, the ancient dogmas were flawed because they relied upon Greek concepts of man and nature that are now outdated...
