Marinated, Then Smothered. The big question is why soul food is so popular. It is cheap, simple fare that reflects the tawdry poverty of its origins. Forced to live on "discards from the big house on the hill," Negro slaves-as well as many poor white tenant farmers-learned to make edible meals out of the vegetables and meats that their masters regarded as waste. Turnips went up the hill; turnip greens stayed down. Whites slaughtered pigs for the ham, loin, bacon and spare ribs; Negroes made do with the pigs' feet ("trotters"), knuckles, tails, ears, snouts, neck, backbones...
...each day's session, which were masterpieces of noncommunication. The paper has not published the full texts of the resolutions on Humanae Vitae adopted by the episcopal conferences of the U.S., Canada, France, Belgium and The Netherlands-all of which cited the role of individual conscience in the question of birth control. Instead, L'Osservatore has published excerpts from the statements praising the encyclical, thus giving the impression that the episcopal conferences were in full agreement with the Pope. Other manifestations of Catholic ferment, such as the theologians' petition for freedom, are simply ignored or referred...
Certainly one of the biggest spiritual problems posed by man's conquest of space is the new perspective that he will have from which to contemplate himself and God.

...moral issues of imperialism and religious elitism, which were raised by Europeans when they began colonizing the rest of the world, also confront modern man as he prepares to colonize space. A modest but perplexing dilemma would result from the discovery of intelligent beings elsewhere in the universe. The question then would be: Should Christians attempt to convert their celestial neighbors? Extraterrestrial evangelism might not be necessary, suggests Dr. Per Massing of the Boston University School of Theology. "If God has revealed himself to people on another planet," he says, "that revelation must be essentially in agreement with that which...
Instead of such discussion, we were treated to the spectacle of the CEP's attempt to take what was for the H-RPC (and for many on the SFAC and HUC) the moral question of the academic inappropriateness of ROTC to a university, and convert it into the amoral question of the academic insufficiency of ROTC courses. (Sec, for instance, the relatively indignant press release of the chairmen of the three committees after their press conference with Ford, just before the Paine Hall demonstration...
