...Brussels last month, delegates from 49 countries met to tackle the problem of assigning liability for oil spills on the high seas. What is left unsolved is a really efficient way of removing oil from the ocean without further damaging marine life. In Manhattan last week, oilmen attending a three-day conference on oil spills, sponsored by the Federal Government and the oil industry, were told that spreading straw on top of the water is still one of the best ways to sop up the black tide. But, as Lavon P. Haxby, an expert on oil control...
...planned them that way, the shows resonate with one another. They assert how we see and have seen-over the best part of a millennium, and right at this moment. The assertions are sometimes disturbing. Munich: 396 icons, barbaric gemstones strewn across the velvet sophistications of Orthodox theology. Brussels: three Bruegels newly cleaned to support a reflective commemoration. Amsterdam: 24 matchless Rembrandts, the best from each of 21 collections the world round. Paris: 304 Giacomettis, shyly revealing beneath surfaces textured like used chewing gum, a tender-hearted portraitist...
...high school connected with a prizefight? The answer goes back to 1968, when San Antonio's parochial schools were in deep financial trouble -like others across the U.S.-and Archbishop Robert Lucey halted all diocesan subsidies for three of the city's twelve Catholic high schools. One of the three schools was located in a wealthy white neighborhood, and it easily survived by raising tuition. Another, situated in a lower-middle-class area, gave up and closed its doors. It is now a warehouse...
Written during a hectic three-and-a-half weeks in the summer of 1741, Handel's oratorio has always been a smash. If a nearly endless succession of well-meaning popularizers have taken gross and extravagant liberties with it, Handel is partly to blame. A shrewd businessman, he ensured The Messiah's success by hiring the best and most popular singers in 18th century London to sing it. If the bass singer was not very good, Handel would turn the bass aria into a recitative, rewrite it for an alto or even a soprano. For flexible soprano voices...
...most obvious result so far is the increasing?some say overemphasized ?concentration on inner-city ministries. Unitarian Universalist churchmen have approved an experimental plan that will allow seminarians to freewheel around New York for three years, taking courses wherever they want to, living in the ghettos if they choose, learning to minister to the world principally by living in it. A larger and more structured program along similar lines is apparently working well. Last year Manhattan's onetime conservative New York Theological Seminary made a major shift in direction by choosing as its new president George W. ("Bill") Webber...
