...faith belongs to the lyrical sonorities of the Book of Common Prayer or the incantatory praises to life of the Song of Solomon, which delights equally in woman and God. The grace-before-meat he says in his own house is likely to pay a tribute in doubtful Latin to the quality of the roast. Like a missionary...
...Pritchard thinks that the city that burned was probably Zarethan, which is mentioned in the Bible as the place where the great bronze cauldrons for Solomon's temple were cast. From potsherds found on the surface two decades ago, Archaeologist Nelson Glueck had already deduced that Tell es-Sa'īdîyeh would prove to be Zarethan, but other experts thought it an unlikely place for bronze casting. The nearest copper mines of the time were south of the Dead Sea. Dr. Pritchard weakened this argument by digging up quantities of bronze, including a heavy cast cauldron...
Below the thriving city of Solomon's time (961-922 B.C.) lie many earlier cities. While probing in a slightly lower part of the mound, Dr. Pritchard stumbled by accident upon his most spectacular find: a mud-walled tomb with the skeleton of a woman of high station, perhaps a local queen. She lay with rich grave goods still around her-500 beads of carnelian and 75 of gold, silver pins, a silver chain, four ivory boxes, an ivory spoon with a human head carved on it, and many objects of bronze and pottery. She must have died about...
...Solomon West Ridgeway Bandaranaike, Prime Minister of Ceylon, is an exasperating handful for any diplomat, even Red China's peripatetic Premier Chou Enlai. As Chou's road show pulled into Colombo last week, it was clear that he had taken advance precautions to ease his confrontation with the formidable first lady. Included in his entourage for the first time was Soong Ching-ling, widow of Dr. Sun Yatsen, founder of modern China, and sister of Mme. Chiang Kaishek. A rheumatic lady of 74, Soong Ching-ling fell out with her family during China's civil war, stayed...
...Song of Solomon raises methodological issues. If read as an allegory of the love of Christ for His Church on earth, the density is 0. If read as it reads, it scores no less than 1.17. A similar ambiguity is encountered in assessing that local classic, Love With a Harvard Accent. Many observers, attempting to explain its great success here, have insisted that it must be an allegory, for it obviously lacks literary or historical interest otherwise. Considering the strict scientific equity of the obscenity density method for assessing most types of literature, the Commission could properly be arbitrarily wary...
