...book, Küng reinterpreted the dogmas that were hammered out by the church's early ecumenical councils to counter prevalent heresies that threatened to split the church. Those councils insisted that Jesus was really a man, not some sort of divine apparition. But they also asserted that he was the Son of God, part of the eternal Godhead. The first two councils crafted the Nicene Creed, which was formulated by A.D. 381 and has been recited at every Sunday Mass since the llth century: Jesus is "eternally begotten of the Father ... true God from true...

Spinks left with the heavyweight crown and the sort of slum-to-stardom story that no savvy scriptwriter would ever dare submit to a director...
...doesn't take a Harvard education or membership in the Signet Society to tell you that what goes on in the Hasty Pudding Show is sort of the antithesis of "legitimate" musical comedy; that you're not supposed to go in expecting anything other than what you got the year before, in a snazzy, schmaltzy new package; that a lot of people around here like to go the show every year for the same reason they like to sit through the Harvard-Yale game every year ("School Spirit," "Tradition," "Water on the Brain"); that, my dream notwithstanding, there are always...
