...Christ as "a man like us in all things but sin./To the poor he proclaimed the good news of salvation,/ to prisoners, freedom,/and to those in sorrow, joy." Developments in Eucharistic theology are also apparent in instructions for the new Mass, which emphasize its character as a "paschal meal," a "gathering of the people of God to celebrate the memorial of the Lord...

...conspirator or another, made these offers: - > To the son of a juror named Gratin Fields, $5,000 for himself and $5,000 for his father if the son would influence his father to vote for Hoffa's acquittal. > To the husband of another jury member, Mrs. James M. Paschal, help in getting a promotion (he was a state highway patrolman) if he would persuade his wife to vote for acquittal. > To a prospective juror, James C. Tippens, $10,000 for an acquittal vote. In addition to these charges, Hoffa faces a possible retrial of the original Nashville case, plus...
