...suppose some of this will leak out," growled jowly Congressman Charlie Halleek in the midst of a closed-door battle with other top Indiana Republicans last week. "It always does." What Halleck feared was that the press would get wind of a new, wide-open schism between right and left wings of Indiana's Republican Party. What he did not know was that for two hours of gory infighting in an Indianapolis hotel room, a live microphone on the table had faithfully broadcast almost every feuding word to newsmen clustered around a loudspeaker in a nearby press room...
...Unionistic Congress of the Roman Catholic Church at St. Procopius Abbey in Lisle. Ill., 125 delegates discussed hopes for the return of all Christians to the Roman Catholic fold-especially those who "left the church as a result of the Eastern schism of 1054." i.e., the Greek and Russian Orthodox Churches.

And the history of each involves bitterness and schism that matches anything in the church's story...
Judging from this exhibition one night imagine, that the schism between poetry and Strum and Drang lies in intensity of emotion or dramatic nature of the subject. Actually Goya's "Disasters of War," certainly more graphic than anything here, or Picasso's "Guernica," more symbolic and abstract than anything here, answer an emphatic no.

"right" and "inevitable," an answer which cannot help being true...
