Jesuit Robert W. Gleason's pronouncements concerning the nature of Hell [June 16] are a welcome contrast to the disgraceful lack of conviction which the Church of England recently exhibited in its shilly-shallying treatment of the question of the existence of demons.

Einar drools by the barrel, but before he can sully her honor, she has fled with Eric. "Let's not question our flesh," he tells her, "for wanting to remain flesh." Thereupon he bends the oar for a not very merry England, where after interminable bouts of slashing and bashing, swilling and swiving, everybody seems to go positively berserk with happiness-except possibly the adult members of the audience...
