HOMER is a well-intentioned film about a young man's growing intolerance for his parents, his home town and his life in Middle America. Too often the script is predictable, the situations pure pasteboard. But Director John Trent has a subtle feeling for the nuances of small-town life, and scenes such as a going-away party for a Viet Nam-bound soldier are filled with a sense of quiet poetry that might have pleased Sherwood Anderson. In the cast are Tisa Farrow, Mia's preternaturally sensual younger sister, and (as Homer) a robust young actor named...
English-speaking Roman Catholics have never produced a first-class Bible of their own. The Douay Version, their standard since 1609, was written in Douay and Rheims, France, by exiles driven from England and cut off from English libraries. Worse, in 1546, the Council of Trent had required, in effect, that all official translations be made from St. Jerome's 5th century Latin Vulgate text, rather than from manuscripts in the original Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic.

...which, Robert Trent Jones gives a ringing bravo. "If it's short, flat, dull courses that the pro golfers prefer, they can order them out of the Sears, Roebuck catalog," he says. Indeed, his whole object is to create a course of "hard pars and easy bogeys, a course that tests a player's skill by demanding well-thought-out and beautifully executed shots." Convinced that the gallery does not want to see "boring putting contests but great golf shots," he would even like to eliminate "cheap birdies" by extending the minimum length of par-five holes from...
Body and Blood. For the past four centuries, Catholic doctrine has depended heavily on the decrees of the Council of Trent, which in the mid-16th century sought to answer the challenge of Protestant reformers by carefully defining-among other issues-the priesthood, the episcopacy, and the seven sacraments recognized by the church. The bishops and theologians at Trent concentrated on a concept of the priest as a man officially set apart to offer sacrifice and on a definition of the Eucharistic celebration-the core of the Catholic Mass-as the same sacrifice, in a different manner, as Christ...
