...book is the subject of a forthcoming issue of Christianity and Crisis, a biweekly journal of opinion founded by Niebuhr in February 1941.[*] In one article, William Lee Miller of the University of Virginia notes that few students today seem inspired by Niebuhr's thought, and questions "what his lasting place in the history of American thought, of theology, of political philosophy, will be." But Fox's depiction of Niebuhr in his prime makes him stand tall in comparison with today's political pulpiteers. A reading of the biography, followed by a good dose of Niebuhrian realism, might benefit...
Richardson, 47, a professor at Ohio State University, is married and says she has never served as anyone's Other Woman, old model or new. She got interested in the topic when one of her students, involved with a married man, asked about the research on the subject.

The industry estimates that it loses up to $700 million a year to commercial owners of dishes and forfeits additional income to private dish owners...
...books, editorials and long reportorial analyses, but his regular "beat" consisted of producing two or three columns a week on national and foreign affairs. His columns were always stately, unhurried. They stared out from the page hard, like a good teacher absorbed in, though not quite obsessed by, his subject, and fixed the readers to the processes of a strong, fair mind. Presidents knew Joe, and he had power in Washington, but his force as a writer came from his dignity. He possessed a scholar's nature fitted to a frenzied profession; a spirit of magnanimity and gentleness; a temperament...
