Neither expediency nor principle justifies Murrow's action. If there is an explanation, it should be given, so as to resolve this most un-ingenuous paradox...
...flurry of controversy around San Francisco's outspoken Episcopal Bishop James A. Pike (TIME, Feb. 24). The issue has its counterpart in Roman Catholicism. Cautious by comparison with Bishop Pike-who suggests that even the ancient doctrine of the virgin birth is a mythological way of presenting the paradox of Christ's simultaneous humanity and divinity-Catholic proponents of the idea avoid the word myth.

As one of the opera's riddles might put it, her crystal voice was hard without harshness and it cut without hurting, thus embodying the ultimate paradox of Turandot...
