...when the church will be built around the active cell of believers rather than the territorial parish. It will be a church seeking to identify the sacred in the midst of the profane, attempting to build the Kingdom of God by transforming the organisms of the secular city. In sum, the new church will be a return to the Biblical notion of the "salt of the earth." Germany's great Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner argues that Christianity is already "in diaspora," as the triumphal mass church of Christendom's past evolves into...

But the statistic that he watches most closely is Du Pont's profit as a percentage of invested capital. The company always aims for a 10% return on investment, usually comes close to achieving it.

...Association thinks is more important than what even the wealthiest donor thinks, just as it may matter more to Harvard's financial solvency to be able to get grants from the NSF and NIH than to graduate alumni who will strike it rich in oil or real estate. In sum, the power of the academic guilds acts as a counter-vailing pressure against local intimidation, just as federal money based on quality of proposals acts as a counter-vailing pressure to the parochialism of a particular state legislature. The great universities and many in their wake have freed themselves from...
