...months," says Staff Writer Richard Stengel, who wrote the main story. "He's funny and engaging, a person of tremendous charm, great personal presence and far-ranging knowledge. He sometimes communicates the feeling that others don't meet his standards." Stengel delved into the work of controversial Roman Catholic Paleontologist-The ologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, whose stress on the importance of mankind gave Cuomo a rationale in his quest for social justice. When Cuomo traveled to Stengel's alma mater, Princeton University, to make an address, the writer tagged along. "People were hanging off the rafters...
That show of force last week, ostensibly to discourage a planned union protest, was the latest step in a month-old campaign by Pinochet to intimidate his burgeoning opposition, which now ranges from Communists to the Roman Catholic Church to members of his own junta.

In St. Thomas More, Cuomo found a fellow lawyer, a man of great gifts and profound flaws who reminded him of his own imperfections while providing a model of how to live with them. More's famous work Utopia describes an island where both religion and reason work to support ethical norms...
...notes Director Susan Power. "They're coming for maintenance and fine-tuning." And relief from stress. With that in mind, Cal-a-Vie is a pioneer in trying to add a European flavor to its U.S.-style exercise and dietary programs. Europe's spas, which date back to the Roman Empire, still favor mudbaths and water therapy, and Cal-a-Vie offers three Continental treatments that relax and help detoxify the body. The piece de resistance: thalassotherapy, from the Greek thalassa, or sea. Guests lie naked on a table while their bodies are painted with a deep-green seaweed paste...
