...Jabbar's account of the Naza renes is widely at variance with previous conceptions about the sect. Although Jerome claimed that the Nazarenes be lieved in Christ's divinity, the book declares that they regarded Joseph as the natural father of Jesus, whose Passion and death were proof that he was simply a great prophet and righteous man. On the grounds that Jesus himself was an observant Jew, the Nazarenes practiced circumcision, abstained from eating forbidden foods, faced toward Jerusalem when praying, and observed the Sabbath on Saturday instead of Sunday. The Nazarenes refused to celebrate Christmas, which...
Perturbation-Proof. Avtorkhanov's book may tempt some readers to conclude that Communism carries the seeds of its own failure. The author acknowl edges that Russia has flopped as an industrialist (half the state enterprises are run at a loss), as. a farmer, even as a seminal example to other Communist states.

"You can be a friend of Kenyatta's only if you crawl and cringe like a hyena," he cried. "He is a frightened man with a little heart." Jomo proved to be equally adept at badinage. At a rally in Nairobi, he warned that the dissidents...
...poet, Joanne belts out her best lines with actressy intensity and proves only that she is too bright a blonde to play dumb. Somewhat more at home with his role-a poet with a sex life as breezy as James Bond's-is Sean Connery, who displays some proof of his versatility by shouting a lot. While earning a buck on the payroll of Athena Carpet Cleaners, Connery seduces a private secretary in a private office that slowly fills up with suds. Sent away to a mental rest camp where Lady Psychiatrist Colleen Dewhurst spoils him with massage...
