...Roman scholars would study the New Testament, nowhere would they find any evidence that Mary had any influence upon Christ during any period of his life. Therefore it is sane and right to assume that if she had no influence then, she certainly would have none...

The fairy tales are still charming to read, though they, too, present a problem: peopled with Disney characters who serve only to make bittersweet, intellectual points, they are neither for children (who prefer Grimmer stuff) nor wholly for adults, but perhaps only for people in those in-between years that British Novelist J.R.R.

In Crest of the Wave he has done it again...

...institutions. Probably we need not fear that failure to be "religious" will ever be accepted in this country as sufficient proof of a citizen's disloyalty, but I have met persons recently who use "atheist" and "Communist" as interchangeable terms. And although such mental defectives are exceptional, many sane people already regard the churchgoer as at least a better security risk than the non-churchgoer...
