...contradiction to the unfortunate statement quoted in the March 16 CRIMSON, we wish to say that in our opinion much of the credit for the success of "Wonderful Town" is due to the many Harvard men who were involved in the production. Were it not for their help the show might well have been but another Drumbeats disaster. We would, therefore, like to apologize for any misunderstanding that may have resulted from this remark, and here thank the better half of the show. Vivian Thomas Kyra Gordon Jane Hallowell Louise N.

Or he may try to bury his anxieties in a "heteronomous" religion that offers him readymade certitudes for his uncertainties. In either case, says Tillich, the individual commits idolatry. Against such idolatry, Tillich asserts the Protestant Principle, which considers it presumptuous of any "conditional" institution, such as church or state, to pose as spokesman for the "unconditional," i.e., God. According to the Protestant Principle, as he expounds it, every Yes must be coupled with a corresponding...
Soon after the last of its light was lost among the stars, instruments and computers indicated that the flight would be a success. Top speed achieved (24,700 m.p.h.) was slightly less than planned (24,985 m.p.h.), but it was still 200 m.p.h. more than was needed to escape from the earth. All instruments were working perfectly...
