...decade of actual work in the fields and flavelas of Latin America. That most of the ideas expressed in Pedagogy of the Oppressed appear distinctively logical, right, and just is not only the consequence of the real-world testing of them, but also a reflection of the brilliant synthesis Paolo Freire has accomplished of many diverse theological, philosophical, political, and psychological viewpoints...

...Paolo Freire is a Catholic educator and social activist. Two of the most important themes woven throughout his book and his life are the inherent goodness, beauty and dignity of man, and his prophetic vision of a just and free world brought about through praxis--the synthesis of reflection and action.

To adapt the Decameron successfully, a film maker must come to his senses...

His Requiem Canticles (1966) were to be sung at a final service in the church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. All this is in accordance with the composer's own devout wishes. Still, even Stravinsky himself might have liked the additional jaunty note of the epitaph he tossed off nine years ago, before leaving for an African conducting tour: "If a lion eats me, you will hear the news from...
