...very shocked to read Commissioner King's remark: ". . . The voice of the pulpit should be the voice of the congregation." This quotation is definitely not Presbyterian in meaning, and certainly it is not true to Reformed theology and to prophetic tradition. The Presbyterian Church has always zealously guarded the minister's own prerogative to preach as the Holy Spirit, not man, gives him guidance...
Repeatedly during the 20-minute, standing-up conversation, Warren held clenched fists before him, handcuffed-style, said: "Look, I'm handcuffed, really handcuffed." As Chief Justice, he explained, he could not hold news conferences to refute "lying" stories, was powerless to defend himself. "Have you read the book?" asked Mazo.

...suitable centennial opera last winter, Denver Symphony Conductor Saul Caston latched on to Puccini's "drama of love and redemption" in a California mining town, chiefly because it went well with Red Rocks' rugged mountain setting. Director Herbert Graf altered all references to California to read Colorado, hired Soprano Eleanor Steber to sing the role of Minnie the barkeep. To help fill his cavernous outdoor stage, he hired a covered wagon and a troupe of horses from a 4-H club. And to avoid frequent scene changes, he transferred the action in Acts...
...humanity's disorders, including incest, dope addiction, war, politics, brainwashing and multiple murder. The book carries a superstructure of plot that would capsize Hawaii, and badly insufficient philosophical ballast. Yet Condon distributes his sour, malicious humor with such vigor and impartiality that the novel is certain to be read and enjoyed...
