...Holy Cross, I should be interested to learn how the two young men (Mr. George E. Engdahl Jr. and Mr. Robert M. Conway) have fared since they dared to write -and have published -a letter [Dec. 2] correctly stating that the stand of the Roman Catholic Church is "narrow-minded, archaic," etc., rebirth control. Their correct appraisal is equaled only by their outright courage -for I can recall the day when to voice, much less to publish, a critique of the church, by a student within one of its institutions, was to have culminated in immediate expulsion -preceded...
...four months, might prove no exception. The freezing gales of winter swept through Peking, which is still swollen by an estimated 2,000,000 of the Red Guard youth who have been breaking windows and heads, renaming streets and chanting the lit any of Mao Tse-tung's narrow road to Socialist salvation. Over 100,000 of the Guards had the sniffles, or something more serious, from wearing only Mao-think as a muffler. No more monster rallies of the millions in open squares were possible until the warmth of spring...
...broader aspect of secularization, which has its origins in the prophetic message of Judaism and Christianity. In ancient times, says Gogarten, man envisioned himself as a creature entwined with and contained by a divinized cosmos.

As St. Paul told the Galatians: "During our minority we were slaves to the elemental spirits of the universe, but . . . God sent his own Son . . . to purchase freedom for the subjects...
...images from its medium and high-resolution lenses onto a fine-grain strip of film. After each section of the film was exposed, it was passed over a drum and pressed against a web treated with chemicals that developed it. After drying, the negative was scanned electronically, one narrow (one-tenth of an inch) strip at a time. Because each strip was electronically divided into 17,000 horizontal lines, enough picture information could be radioed back to earth to reconstruct prints showing almost as much detail as the original...
...priced at $27,000. It consists of two slender beams of anodized aluminum, 30 ft. long by 2 ft. high, braced between uprights. A cool piece of pure structure, the object has all the contemplative imagery of an I beam, but it has an inner electronic life. The narrow six-inch gap between the aluminum beams is brightly lit by hidden sodium-vapor lamps that shine on electric eyes staring up through pencil-sized holes in the bottom beam...
