...patrological housecleaning ["The Saints Go Marching Out," May 16] in the name of "modernity" marks a curious tactical reversal. For almost two millennia the church passed off its myth as historical truth. When this stance was undermined by modern cosmography and anthropology, the church began promoting instead increasingly reason-divorced myth-dogma, e.g., the immaculate conception and bodily assumption of St. Mary. At least the implication was "Here is myth for myth's sake, it's good for your souls," a kind of return to Tertullian's "Credo quia absurdum." Now suddenly there is a new obsession...
There were always a small percentage of persons bent on destroying society, and on fomenting a revolution. In previous generations they were the Wobbles, later there were the campus communists.

He usually circulates behind the net and passes out to teammates in a position to shoot. For this reason, Ince led the league in assists this year with 13. Webster and Johnsen get most of their points on goals, rather than assists. Ince has some good help, of course. He can pass to, among others, Phil Zuckerman and Bruce Regan, who ranked sixth and eighth in Ivy scoring. But even...
