...objectively and view Roman Catholicism as a historic structure or as a teaching church with more than its quota of revolutionary behavior was admirable. Unfortunately, you missed the whole point of what is taking place. This is not another Lutheran rage of 95 theses, nor is it merely another thrust against a latter-day Pius IX. It is not even an introduction to the halfway house of Callahan, Curran and Company. It is the death of the church. The young people with whom I communicate do not want a reformed church, a free church or an open church. They...
...atmosphere is invariably one of warmth, and the architectural scale is everywhere measured by human dimensions. Architect Ulrich Franzen is a master of the broken line and the ingratiating curve. Nothing is rigid and antiseptic. Masculinity and femininity thrust, parry, yield and wed in a superlative marriage of craft and art. The main theater itself, a semicircular urn of intimacy seating 798, is a kind of womb with seats. Decked out in soft brown and nuzzling together like cattle, the rows of theater seats are concentrated reminders that the playgoer is in an edifice indigenous to the Southwest, a vivid...
...main thrust of what one Pikeville senior proudly calls "the only right-wing student protest movement in the country" is against the progressive policies of Thomas Johns, 37, a former Little All-America football tackle (Hanover College, 1953) who became president 19 months ago. Johns hired 30 new teachers, put a new curriculum emphasis on sociology and psychology, secured federal grants so that students can work in local antipoverty projects, and instituted compulsory courses on contemporary issues. He has appointed students to faculty and trustee committees, urged them to get involved in such local issues as water pollution, strip mining...
This structural limitation explains why the COH deals with small problems rather than policy decisions. When a decision-making body can't even reach a consensus on the few issues thrust upon it by the rapidly changing outside world, the question of the ability of that body to initiate meaningful farsighted reform becomes irrelevant. The city of Cambridge would have to enter the Twilight Zone before the COH as presently constructed would ever initiate any of the social reforms so obviously desired at Harvard College...
Shortly after liftoff, Apollc 8 will go into a "parking" orbit 115 miles above the earth. If mission controllers are satisfied that all the ship's systems are working properly, the final stage of the Saturn booster will be reignited during the second or third orbit. The resulting thrust will increase Apollo's speed to 24,000 m.p.h.-enough to free it from the earth's environment and send it on a curving trajectory toward the moon...
