...acts in human history, and that Christianity will have to survive, if at all, without him. Altizer notes that this new kind of Godless Christianity is a uniquely American phenomenon, although it acknowledges an intellectual debt to certain European thinkers, religious as well as secular. From Sören Kierkegaard, the death-of-God thinkers developed the idea that organized Christianity is a kind of idolatry that has obscured the real message of the Gospel behind irrelevant and outdated cultural forms. And they follow closely in the footsteps of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the anti-Nazi German martyr of World...
...well-armed "workers' militia," have ruled the mines, and no government has dared call a halt to the appalling featherbedding, inefficiency and spiraling wages, which result in losses of more than $6,000,000 annually. No government, that is, except the present military junta headed by Co-Presidents René Barrientos and Alfredo Ovando Candia. Last May the two generals drew up a harsh but workable plan to rehabilitate the mines, then sent troops into action when the miners rebelled.

Most Seychellois are still not convinced that independence is for them, but René is making progress. Through his own newspaper, The People, occasional manifestoes ("To We Who Have Not Yet Broken the Colonial Chains That Fetter Us"), and stumping tours of the islands, he has built SPUP up into what for the Seychelles is a powerful political force. At last count, 1,961 islanders-more than the total vote during the last election-were paying 10?-a-month membership dues...
Loans for Ladies. Greatest of all the Belle Époque jewelers, and Bernhardt's longtime favorite, was René Lalique, who, like today's haut couturiers, designed jewels to suit the individual's personality. While working for Chez de Stape, then Paris' leading fashion jeweler, Lalique began experimenting with enamels, transforming glass with oxides in his own kitchen. In mounting stones, he turned from semiprecious tortoise shell to ordinary horn because he found the color of tortoise too irregular. The innovation was an immediate success; overnight, horn became a luxury in Paris...
