...that one minority group or another was not doing its part--prompted his keen interest in race relations. In 1944, he gave a course in minority group problems to Boston police captains; three years later he gave a similar course to Cambridge police officers. And again, shrugging off the notion that the subject was too "soft" for useful study, he began a systematic consideration of prejudice; it lead to the 1954 publication of this classic on the subject, The Nature of Prejudice...
Sociological Theories. Her disguise as Lone Ranger pitted against the Beacon Hill and Cambridge Establishment is reminiscent of James Michael Curley's durable appeal to Bostonians of another generation.

The notion for the no-ball came to Lorraine Cooper as she brooded over ways to cut down the expenses that inevitably erode the take at charity affairs. Having hit on the ultimate cutdown, she sent out embossed non-invitations describing the charitable work being done by the no-ball...
...papal injunction was a gloomy beginning to a meeting that many Catholics regard as a real test of how willing church leaders are to extend the accomplishments of the Second Vatican Council. Specifically, the synod represents the first real test of collegiality-the democratic notion, adopted by Vatican II, that the bishops collectively share ruling power with the Pope. As a kind of ecclesiastical senate, the synod is expected to advise the Pope on current problems troubling the church and to extend the legislative accomplishments of the council. But as at the beginning of Vatican II, change-fearing conservatives...
