That the religious lives of this community are vibrant and varied is obvious and encouraging. There are more than two dozen chaplaincies in the United Ministry--and several handfuls of other recognized religious groups. Attendance at various rites and services seems to be on the rise; and Professor Eck's is one of the more popular entry-level courses offered. My personal favorite religious discussion of the year to date was the well-attended collaborative effort of Hillel and the Catholic Students Association: "GUILT: Nobody Does It Better." Best of all, the creation of the Undergraduate Interfaith Forum has promised...
...Forbes' rise in the polls has led to a case of me-tooism among his G.O.P. rivals, several of whom quickly announced their flat-tax plans last week even while attacking Forbes' scheme as favoring, in Pat Buchanan's barb, "the boys down at the yacht basin." Buchanan and Senator Phil Gramm offered single-rate tax plans that would retain the popular deductions for mortgage interest and charitable contributions and would tax investment income. A long-shot candidate, self-made tire magnate Morry Taylor, asks why Forbes would charge him nothing on the $15 million he collected last year...

Updike aims to avoid this danger by using overarching themes to bind up the threads of his lengthy story: the decline of religious faith and the corresponding rise of the movies...
...their lucky baseball caps or breaking lamps while playing ball in the house. By the same token, parents are seen as having to deal with much more than the usual adolescent defiance or mischief-making one might find in the Cleaver residence. Out of this perception comes the disturbing rise of support for corporal punishment in the home and, for that matter, in schools as well. Recent judicial support for a school teacher brought to trial for paddling a student is just one example that the issue is becoming pervasive in its appeal. Our society is increasingly concerned with supposedly...
Money and message are fueling Forbes' rise from obscurity. Forbes will tap his own wallet for at least $25 million, and by refusing federal matching funds, he can spend it as he wants. This means that in New Hampshire and Iowa (with spending ceilings of $600,000 and $1.1 million, respectively), Forbes will probably outspend his rivals 2 to 1. Overall, he will soon report expenditures of about $15 million. That's less than Dole and Phil Gramm (about $20 million each), but both have spent so heavily on overhead that Forbes has been free to dominate the airwaves...
