...monarchy would lead to a new and healthier concept of what authority is. The church of the Bible, they argue, was not an authoritarian state but a community of shared decisions, which were not made by the hierarchy alone.

On a question of marital morality like birth control, the conscience of the church should be formed by those who face the question in their daily lives-the married laymen. In any case...

A subtly seething, 8-ft.-high panorama, The Birth of the World, says Rubin, is "in retrospect the point of departure in modern painting," making...
...only grass to eat; serving a grueling apprenticeship at village fiestas where the only available medical care is a slosh of alcohol in an open wound; rising under the tutelage of a crafty promoter named El Pipo, compiling a fortune of $8,000,000 and becoming the idol and symbol of a new, liberalized and more commercially aggressive Spain...
