...Roman Catholic theological issues: whether God's word is contained wholly in Scripture or whether some truths are also found in "tradition," the teachings passed down orally in the church from the Apostles. Until the Middle Ages, every Christian took it for granted that Scripture was the sole source of revelation. But as the church, in responding to heresies, was forced to clarify and define its doctrines, it found that not all of them could be directly traced to what the Bible explicitly says.

Jack Ruby's case may drag on for years. Whatever the outcome, his trial left Authors Kaplan and Waltz with grave doubts about the sole issue in question-whether he was indeed insane when he committed murder before 80 million TV witnesses.

...comforting fact for parents is that few school systems any longer use IQ tests as the sole basis for placing children in various ability groups. Teachers are being urged to use common sense judgments based on observation and on the child's classroom performance. Testing, as a measurement of progress and aptitude, will always have its uses, but the old myth about the omnipotent IQ is finally fading...
