...conventional format has led both priests and laymen to speculate on new ways to practice confession. Many theologians favor some form of return to the early church custom of group confession-as is done in many Protestant churches. In some Dutch churches, members of a congregation mentally express their sorrow for sin while publicly reciting an act of contrition, then receive absolution in a group from their priest, though private confession is available for those who want it. Still other Catholics have questioned whether confession need always be made in the presence of a priest. Although there are obvious dangers...
...respected Howard Hughes for many years." But last week his feelings became less felicitous. While Recluse Hughes remained in his suite in Las Vegas' Desert Inn, which he bought last March, Frank was doing his best to tear down another recent Hughes acquisition, the Sands Hotel.

It voted, 92 to 5, to censure the senior Senator from Connecticut for bringing the Senate into "dishonor and disrepute" by wrongfully taking $116,083 in campaign funds for his own use. He was only the seventh Senator in 178 years to be formally condemned by his colleagues...
...cuckoldry. More conspicuously exaggerated is Bloom's racial paranoia, his consciousness of anti-semitism around him; but perhaps the problem of anti-semitism took on a different aspect for this film's crew, shooting in 1966, than it had for Joyce in 1922; perhaps it is no longer a sorrow from which we are capable of drawing our thoughts quickly toward joy, and as such looms larger than other sorrows in the fluid context of the film...
