...rather than the past. Across the world, this year's celebration-marking the 450th anniversary of Martin Luther's posting of his 95 theses at Wittenberg-is being shared in by Catholics as well as Protestants. For both branches of Western Christianity, the great Reformer is increasingly seen not as a symbol of past schism but as a potential focus for unity to come. "Rapprochement between Catholic and Protestant churches can come," says Lutheran Theologian Jürgen Winterhager of Berlin, "not despite but through the Reformation...
These scenes, flashed into the living rooms of more than 30 million Americans last week, were notable for the fact that they could be seen in near carbon-copy similarity on any one of the three TV networks' newscasts. The tendency to cover the news in triplicate is less attributable to a lack of imagination than it is to the limitations unique to TV journalism.

Once again, filmgoers have the chance to rereview two such fabled Hollywood performances: Clark Gable as Rhett Butler and Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara in David O. Selznick's Gone With the Wind. Since its gala 1939 premiere in Atlanta, G.W.T.W. has been seen by more than 295 million people and earned $75 million in rentals for MGM. This month MGM re-released it for the fifth time, and already has advance bookings (at an average of $3 per reserved-seat ticket) totaling...
...Russian version by Grove Press. Doubtless the U.S. publishers are right in claiming that the novel is "the most talked-about literary work in Russia today." Bulgakov, who died in 1940, is officially described in the Soviet Encyclopaedia as "a slanderer of Soviet reality." The work can now be seen for what it is: a seriocomic parable of great satiric force that draws its strength from a source still unacceptable in Russia-the Scriptures...
