...dissolution of a society? Taylor does not say so, but I think he suggests that the question, at least, is a reasonable one.) Taylor's Prologue consists of a description of the fascinating and wide-ranging correspondence which ex-Presidents Adams and Jefferson carried on for ten years prior to their simultaneous deaths in 1826; the measure and reason which characterized their discussions of North vs. South, hard work vs. gracious living, education vs. natural genius soon disappeared from the discussions of these problems by later Southerners. Their correspondence "seemed, by the summer of 1861, to belong to another, faraway...
...next step was to compile statistical profiles of the authors' known styles and the disputed Papers. To compare the profiles, Mathematicians Mosteller and Wallace then used Bayes' theorem (1763): "If q1 q2 . . . qn are a set of mutually exclusive events, the probability of qr, conditional on prior information H and on some further event p, varies as the probability of qr on H alone times the probability of p given qr and H, namely, P(qrpH)∝P(qrH)P(pqrH...
Fortnight ago, at the Vatican, Augustin Cardinal Bea's Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity announced that a limited number of religion experts would attend the council as its special guests, distinct from the appointed observer-delegates. First three named: Prior Roger Schutz and Pastor Max Thurian, both Calvinists from France's famed Protestant "monastery" at Tarze, and Lutheran Biblical Scholar Oscar Cullmann...

A fairly ambitious Chestertown white youth, for example, might plan to become a doctor or lawyer or store owner as a way of growing wealthy and serving his community. Young Negroes, similarly ambitious, aspire to the positions of undertaker or hair dresser or caterer. Traditionally no young Negro...
...Hunt is about a war lover, a man for whom war is not hell but home. It is set in the bleak, blasted terrain of Korea a few months prior to the cease-fire at Panmunjom. Private Endore (John Saxon) is a broody loner. Each night he smudges up his face and like a blackface minstrel of death steals out behind the Chinese lines on a one-man patrol. With snakelike grace, he slithers up to an isolated and unwary outpost guard and slits his throat or plunges a knife into his heart. Then follows an infinitely more chilling ritual...
