...University's published description of the post reads, "Candidates should have a demonstrated record of competence in management and personnel administration, including organized bargaining units," and adds that "particular emphasis will be given to management skills and background...
...Catholic Theological Society of America study on human sexuality is not a rejection of official church teachings about sex or a "sweeping challenge" to hierarchical views on this subject. Quite the contrary, in the committee's own words-it gives "particular attention to magisterial statements regarding sexuality" (including an appendix containing the 1975 Vatican declaration on sexuality), and remains faithful to the basic elements of the Christian Catholic moral tradition.

Within the past year, while Penthouse in particular has made its inside text more blatant and kinkier, both Playboy and Penthouse have toned down the nudity of their covers. Guccione, whose Penthouse makes more money for news dealers than any other magazine, is concerned about the small-town Midwest distributor "whose wife plays pinochle with all the local wives...
