...Luce described it as "marking one of the ten or twelve great milestones in American history. This country needed it, was ready and waiting for it. And magazines had a great deal to do with making the country ready and waiting." Magazines did so, among other ways, by their stress on self-improvement, a characteristic that differentiates America from other times and lands where "men and women have been schooled to accept the lot into which God or fate put them." The U.S., continued Luce, has developed a "questing spirit-a quest not only for what we call the good...
Magazines have sometimes been criticized for putting too much stress on material things, and, said Luce, "let us recognize the validity of this criticism . . . But, in fact, it is the glory of Western civilization and especially of its Jewish and Christian religions that the distinction between what we call matter and what we call spirit shall not be made too sharply . . .

Breakout After Stress. Like viruses, PPLO can invade living cells and destroy them from within. Like bacteria, they can grow in a chemical broth independently of living cells.

And like many bacteria, some PPLO are natural inhabitants of the human respiratory, intestinal and genital tracts, where they cause no disease until they are activated when the individual has been subjected to unusual stress...

The surgery, they suspect-on the basis of a near-fatal case of PPLO blood poisoning-may help to spill PPLO into the bloodstream. British researchers have also incriminated PPLO in puerperal fevers and fevers following gynecologic surgery...
...fold but to help them live better lives as persons." Most chaplains today shun even such an old-fashioned evangelistic idea as a "Religious Emphasis Week"; they talk about God only when the students want to. Church-sponsored activities, often organized ecumenically by team ministers of different faiths, rarely stress their denominational origin. At Columbia, the Protestant Office sponsors a student hangout called "The Post-crypt," but Acting University Chaplain John Cannon stoutly contends that it is "not a Christian coffeehouse; it has nothing to do with evangelism...
