Your special issue should have relied more on the numerous well-documented scientific studies that support the conclusions you reached in your articles. Marxists have found a successful way to preach their gospel: using lies (which they think nobody can prove false) to make the masses afraid. But those who care about the environment have proof in scientific studies to substantiate important information about it. We need to bring it to the attention of those who have the power to change the course of disastrous political decisions. JOHANNES W. BLOEMENDAL Abcoude, the Netherlands...
...femininity to achieve equality. In her memoir, Friedan lashes out at some of those movement colleagues. She accuses Ms. magazine founder Gloria Steinem of hypocrisy for telling women they should not shave their legs or armpits or wear makeup.

Pentecostalism, while it shares the Baptists' scriptural conservatism, relies heavily on the workings of the Holy Ghost, which are as likely to touch a woman as a man. Women seldom preach unaided, but Jim and Tammy-style co-pastors are common. And while megachurches may seem the creatures of their high-powered male senior ministers, the bulk of their person-to-person spiritual business is done not on supercrowded Sundays but in dozens of small weekday prayer, study or self-help groups--often led by lay women...
...leaves the cafe and heads to a nearby church, Refugee Temple Assembly of Yahweh Yahoshua the Messiah. His father used to preach in this Pentecostal church. This is where D'Angelo got his start--at age 5--playing piano or organ while his father preached. He hasn't been back in ages...
