Such a vision, expressed so unabashedly by a bona fide member of the academic elite, stands to make a splash in the upmarket reaches of academia, theology and perhaps even among mainline Protestant preachers. In the meantime, however, a fellow revivalist is stirring up more populist waters. Joni Eareckson Tada, a quadriplegic since a diving accident at age 17, is well-known in conservative Protestantism. She appeared on a Billy Graham Crusade, wrote a best-selling autobiography whose royalties she used to found a religious organization to aid the handicapped, and has a radio program airing on 700 stations.

...best that can be hoped for is some compromise that--tada!--sounds a lot like our very own Core Curriculum. This highlights the fundamental problem with Bok's thoughtful, well-conceived book. It's almost too well conceived. His purpose in writing it at times seems to be to defend, in the guise of a formal study, his tenure as president of Harvard.

The dramatic arrest marked the strongest action yet taken by the Dublin government against the terrorist organization since the current period of turmoil began in Northern Ireland three years...
...head of a queen mother from 16th century Benin, whose kings ruled a large area of what is now southern Nigeria. There is also the portrait statue of King Bom Bosh, ruler of the Congolese kingdom of the Bakuba about 1650-1660. Most impressive of all is the famous Tada bronze from Nigeria, a relatively small (20 inches high) but monumental work that has never before been shown outside Nigeria. For several hundred years, it has sat overlooking a remote reach of the Niger, venerated by the Tada villagers who believe that the legendary hero Tsoede brought it to protect...
