...MacArthur is a politician, and judging by last nights performance, a rather good one. A Conservative Member of Parliament, although technically a Scottish Unionist (it seems that neither the English nor the Scots want to recognize the fact that they have been under a common government since 1707). MacArthur is a tall man, somewhat bald, but very distinguished looking. He wears a typically British double-breasted suit and has a politican's ability to be both straightforward and devious at the same time and almost get away with...
...launched a new magazine to attack the "heresy" and in 1934 wrote nearly all of the Barmen Declaration-an anti-Nazi protest that claimed the autonomy of the church from all temporal power.

In a blunt paper on "The International Crisis," the council supported President Kennedy's no-surrender statements on Berlin, and rejected Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield's suggestion to merge East...
From such casual miffs can flow great neighborhood rifts. In Berkeley, Calif., John Klein, a labor unionist, got fed up with the host of ills that infested his soil, planted his whole lawn this year with hardy ivy. Last week his status-conscious neighbors decided that this was going too far, and slapped him with a lawsuit for violating a neighborhood compact whose fine print requires that lawns and gardens be kept "in a good and husbandlike manner." None of this would have happened if only somebody in The Bronx had been more alert in the first place...
