...bulwark against barbaric atheism and dehumanizing secularism: Karol Wojtyla, the Archbishop of Cracow and the future John Paul II. Both were members of the worldwide Synod of Bishops -- an advisory council to the Pope. In 1980, two years after his accession, John Paul asked Ratzinger to join him in Rome.

Cities like Paris, or Hong Kong, have always had a soigne, international...
...studies American history in school, all the more reason to begin it at Harvard, as students do elsewhere, in courses on East Asia or ancient Rome or Africa or modern Germany. And these courses will prepare one for business, law, medicine, politics--even for American history. Nothing has pained me more since coming from Berkeley in 1986 (seeking more satisfying undergraduate teaching!) than the willful and misleading denigration of a fine department lacking a senior historian in one field.
