In the Roman Catholic Church -which requires parents to have their children baptized as soon as possible-several progressive theologians have seriously suggested that the ceremony be postponed until puberty, when a youth presumably is mature enough to accept or reject his faith. Perhaps the most formidable challenge to infant baptism was made recently by Switzerland's venerable Karl Earth, in Part 4 of Volume IV of his ever expanding masterwork, Church Dogmatics. In his latest book, Barth argues that there is no Biblical basis for infant baptism and that...
...important repertory group, the In dependent Theater, decides to produce Maxudov's novel as a play. All goes well until the great director Ivan Vasilievich-an obvious takeoff on Stanislavsky-gets hold of the script. He is an autocratic dramacide whose ears reject all utterances not made by himself.

In the interim between first contacts and final ad hoc committee approval a man is often offered huge salary increases by his present employer and turns down Harvard. The report documents in exhaustive detail the complicated recommendations for multiple appointments or departmental restructuring...
...been saying over and over that the campaign is some sort of last chance before something bad happens. And he is right. It is the first and the last chance for the poor to enter the market, and if they are kept out this spring, they will probably reject that market entirely. Right now, the campaign is in chaos...
