Nuns on Picket Lines. This surge of renewal is more concerned with the structure of the church than the substance of doctrine, more with practical questions of morality and Christian living than with abstract theological problems. Renewal, American-style, deals with freedom within the church, with the kind of rebellion that does not end in the classic "leaving the church...
Lilies-Water, Tiger, Calla. The style had its origins in pre-Raphaelite painting, flourished in Toulouse-Lautrec's famous posters of Jane Avril, and was murdered by the cold cubism of Weimar's Bauhaus.

...Lenshina. It seems that Kaunda's agents tried to force her people to vote. They did not want to, and by the time the excitement was over, a number of people were dead. Last week Alice's followers were at it again, this time sparking a major rebellion that has left 40 villages afire and more than 300 men, women and children shot, speared, hacked or burned to death...
