...Lutheran, I found your story of particular interest. Many consider the Lutheran Church to be a sleeping giant among the denominations, with the mystique of the Roman Catholic Church and the evangelism of the Protestant churches. No one can say we are narrow-minded in our attitude toward living. In your "Reflections from an Irregular Planet," one that could have been included is the well-known quotation of Luther's: "Who loves not women, wine and song remains a fool his whole life long." Luther did not mind admitting that he was human, something many theologians of today will...
...strong G.O.P. showing resulted from a strictly partisan contest. Tiernan, 38, and DiPrete, 39, are similar down to the horn-rimmed glasses they both wear. Both are Roman Catholics, lawyers, fathers of three-and uninspiring campaigners. There was little to distinguish their views on most issues. Neither announced a stand on Viet Nam until an independent "peace" candidate, Unitarian Universalist Minister Albert Perry, forced them into a choice (Perry got 2.7% of the vote). Tiernan came out in full support of the Johnson Administration. DiPrete at first favored a suspension of U.S. bombing of North Viet Nam, then-realizing that...

Absent from the encyclical was the usual stream of hedging qualifiers that in France have earned him the nickname "the Pope of Buts." Instead, the document had a ringing...
...wrong about the acceptability of the pills." This impressive total, according to the 1965 National Fertility Study,* means that of all white American women using any form of contraception, 24% are on the pills. Broken down, it shows 27% pill use among Protestants, 22% among Jews, 18% among Roman Catholics. This last figure may be low because some Catholics say they use the pills for reasons other than contraception. The use rate among Negroes is only slightly lower than among whites...
...Nineveh have been renowned since Biblical times. But displays from excavations conducted in the 1950s now reveal much about the little-known Parthians (one of the few ancient people who wore pants), who flourished during the 2nd and 3rd centuries after Christ, withstanding repeated attempts at conquest by Roman legions...
