...marriage settlement laid before the Buffalo meeting consisted of a "Proposed Statement" and a "Proposed Concordat." The Proposed Statement included nine "Things Believed in Common"-including the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper-by the two churches, so broadly drawn that none but theological nigglers could object to them. The Concordat raised a more ticklish question. Its chief provision was for a "commissioning" of ministers of either church, to administer the sacraments to members of either...
Muddle No. 5: While Pan American Airways, which operates the Bermuda run jointly with Imperial, carries four rocket-equipped life rafts on its Bermuda Clipper (total raft capacity: 40 persons), the Cavalier had none. When she began to sink, her eight passengers, her five crew members had to take to the water, hanging to six or seven buoyant seat packs, which had not been issued until after the ship struck.

For a degree lecturing is easier than tutorial, yet for an ideal some individual consideration is superior to none. Thus the C man wants a compromise between the two; he does not object to tutorial if at the same time he can have excellent lecturing. For this reason Dean Hanford's suggestion has great appeal-that the traditional scheme may in part be adjusted to those disliking specialization by improving...
