Back last week from a short sojourn in the South was the Rev. Trevor Huddleston, Anglican priest of the Community of the Resurrection who has become a symbol and rallying point of resistance to apartheid in South Africa, where he has been stationed for twelve years. In Africa, whence his superiors have recently recalled him to England, white supremacists viewed him with alarm as a kamrboetie (roughly, nigger-lover) and predicted he would not be allowed to visit the U.S. Southern states, let alone be permitted to speak there. But Father Huddleston was able to travel and to talk with...
...constitution along some recommended lines: ¶ Abandonment of MacArthur's proud clause proscribing war (intended to make Japan the "Switzerland of Asia") to permit Japanese rearming, with safeguards against return of the old military clique. ¶ An upgrading of the Emperor from the purely honorary position ("symbol of the state") he now holds to a position somewhere below the divinity ("sacred and inviolable") he once enjoyed. ¶ A partial return to appointment rather than election of village chiefs and members of the Upper House...

Today the Angel is suspended once again in its old place within Giistrow Cathedral, a symbol that Sculptor Barlach has returned with a message of enduring faith...
...brace of bulls when blind old Ambrosius, one of the last of the Roman legionaries, by title the Count of Britain, stumbles upon him. By the old man's side walks Medrodus, his heir apparent, and at his side hangs a lustrous sword (Excalibur of old), sole remaining symbol of legal Roman power. No Lady of the Lake hands Artos the sword; he filches it. When Medrodus protests, Artos sinks the sword deep in an oak bole (instead of the anvil imbedded in stone of Malory's story), and after a grunt-and-sweat match, Medrodus fails...
