...Britain that fatwa was potentially a more serious matter than any ten or twelve riots in Palestine. For it meant that a contagious form of disturbance had escaped from quarantine in Palestine. Iraq, with the oil fields of Mosul and Kirkuk, is definitely a British sphere of influence, and beyond it lie other British areas with large Moslem populations, subject to the same contagion...
There is very little definite work in course 9 on the seventeenth century, which is a limited enough sphere so that it is possible to give play to the individual approach of the student, which is encouraged by Cons.

The material is not important for Divisionals, though interestingly presented by Mercier. Course 11 is probably the best of the advanced courses in literature.

Auditing offers a means of enlarging the sphere of distribution courses, of gaining fundamental knowledge of subjects which would otherwise remain dark mysteries.

And though neither the Sphere nor the symmetrical Trylon alone could serve as a direction-pointing landmark to guide wanderers on the Fair grounds, side by side they...
...Eminence Joseph Ernest Cardinal van Roey, Primate of Belgium, ordered Belgian Catholics to vote against the Rexist (Fascist) Party of Lé Degrelle on (TIME, April 19). Recently Cardinal van Roey wrote his clergy explaining that such orders of the hierarchy, even entering as they do the political sphere, are binding upon the faithful from the moment they are issued. The controversy which followed Cardinal van Roey's letter became so heated that ...he submitted his views to the Pope. From Pius XI the Cardinal last week received assurance that his teachings are completely in line with modern papal...
