...come the Methodists -not a new denomination at this point but an order of Anglican laymen who preach the revivalist Gospel and establish prayer cells. Rankin, who arrived from England in 1773, is their current American leader. Although some see them as "a church within a church," the Methodists profess religious loyalty to the Church of England. In fact, one hot-head was ejected from a Methodist society recently for usurping the clergy's role and offering Communion...
...private individuals. As long as they refuse to take the kind of position the administration took last spring in their dealings with companies like Aramco, the University will be tainted by their amorality. Value-free social science does not exist in the real world, and those like Crum who profess to practice it are in fact supporting the status quo. In places like Saudi Arabia, this is not only reprehensible but racist. No Harvard affiliate should accept such a position. It embarrasses not only them but the whole community, and should not continue...

Worse, says one White House official, the unmasking makes "agents particularly vulnerable to terrorist acts." Many point to the murder of Station Chief Richard Welch by assassins in Athens in December just a month after his name appeared in the Athens News, an English-language...
...people who are born, and will live and die in New Hampshire, the daily presence of the Loeb papers is a major factor in how they understand the issues of the day, and how they come to terms with the forces that control their lives. Even those who profess violent disagreement with Union Leader politics cannot help but be co-opted by Loeb's frame of reference, if only as part of an effort to oppose him. In Kevin Cash's failure to transcend this level of contention lies his book's major flaw...
