...seldom without a pocketful of seed for the birds about his place, he works by himself from 8:30 each morning to 10 at night in a spacious stone library, takes time out only to do a little painting, putter about the grounds, play on his electric organ, or chop a stack of firewood. But out of this solitude has come a philosophy that offers a hopeful vision of the unity of the universe...
Many a surgeon dreams of the day when, like the mechanic faced with a worn-out fuel pump, he will be able to dip into a bank of human spare parts and fix up his patient with a replacement for.an ailing organ−even one so vital to life as a kidney or the heart itself.

...Milton T. Edgerton and Chemist Patricia J. Edgerton report that skin grafts from one strain of mice to another normally died within nine days, but could be made to live as long as 38 days if they were retransplanted several times at four-day intervals. This suggested that an organ donated for spare-part use might be conditioned so that it would no longer stimulate the recipient's system to produce antibodies. And a team at the University of Minnesota reported on work with rats and rabbits suggesting that the recipient might be conditioned not to reject transplanted tissues...

Sheen, No. 1 U.S. Catholic-missions official, gave the keynote speech ("The future harmony on the organ of humanity will be played on the black keys of Africa"), but the meeting's impetus came from an encyclical issued last Easter by Pope Pius XII, in which he warned that "atheistic materialism has spread its virus of division through various regions of Africa." At least one speaker, Father J. Alfred Richard of the White Fathers, linked Communism with the spread of Islam. Communists seek to weaken a powerful enemy, Christianity...
