Theologians always tend to clothe themselves in honorary gowns, and since the great Swiss, Karl Barth, may still be in the country June 14, his name is a sound one. Rumor also spreads word of Episcopal Bishop James A. Pike. Among foreign diplomats Herve Alphand, Ambassador of France, seems a more than probable choice. Douglas MacArthur, unable to collect his degree on the last occasions of its awarding, will hopefully manage to come this year...
...protectionists succeeded in raising tariffs in 1824 and again in 1828's "Tariff of Abominations," as its enemies called it. But excessively high tariffs tend to choke off international trade and push up domestic prices, and the Tariff of Abominations stirred up impassioned opposition. South Carolina even enacted a Nullification Ordinance that declared the 1828 tariffs void within the state.

Few of them have fulltime ministers. Church services emphasize oldtime hymns and sermons that pound home a basic Gospel message of Christ's saving grace. There is little or no liturgy. "We feel that all this rising and reading confuses the issue,'' says Pastor Delamarian. "Our message is simple: Have you been saved...
...because the period has seen the spilling of more blood and sanity than others, but because it seems more than others to be the era of the average man, who obsesses authors with the similarities of his predicament rather than the individuality of his struggle. Many novelists nowadays tend to upend art to write about predicaments instead of people, but war novels and madhouse novels survive even this treatment. No matter how pale are a novelist's people, shot, shell and psychosis will set them off in a fascinating dance that closely resembles life...
