Died. Canon Lionel Groulx, 89, Roman Catholic priest and early force behind French Canadian nationalism, a longtime (1915 to 1948) history professor at the University of Montreal who in lectures, countless articles and 30 books preached the revival of French Canadian civilization "contaminated by the Protestant and Saxon atmosphere," and advocated a Canada composed of virtually autonomous states; of a cardiac arrest; in Vaudreuil...

Born in 1483, the son of a Saxon miner, Luther had every intention of becoming a lawyer until, one day in 1505, he was caught in a sudden storm while walking toward the village of Stotternheim. A bolt of lightning knocked him to the ground, and Luther, terrified, called out to the church's patroness of miners: "St. Anne, help...
