Last week Giorgio la Pira turned his attention to the plight of about 115 workers in the creaky Delle Cure Foundry on the outskirts of Florence, which makes pipe and other cast-iron products. Since it was started in 1933, in a dingy, damp building now 87 years old, the foundry has limped along, losing money most of the time. Its equipment is ancient and its labor force, since World War II, has always been too big. In 1952 the owners went bankrupt, automatically closing shop...
...never been seen.) For the haloed, mouthless figures painted in caves in the Kimberley district, they have a different explanation: Wondjina (gentle fertility gods) first made them by casting shadows on the rock. Before each rainy season, the aborigines retouch the divine shadows with red and yellow ocher and pipe-clay white. It is sure to bring rain...
...first was dull but interesting as an historical curiosity, for it is the earliest extant keyboard music (dated c.1325).

Last week, wreathed by pipe smoke that swirled through his thinning white hair and gave him the aspect of a medieval alchemist, Jung was busy in the study of his oldfashioned, high-ceilinged house at Küsnacht on Lake Zurich. The three-volume work on which he was dotting the last "i" seemed strange for a modern psychiatrist: Representation of the Problems of Opposites in Medieval Natural Philosophy. "Pretty abstruse, huh?" said Jung to a visitor. Then laughter rocked his heavy shoulders. "I must laugh! I have such a hell of a trouble to make people see what...
