...clad in the crisp white linen of logic, starts from mankind's inherent sense of right and wrong. Think about this, Lewis says: men feel wet when they fall into water; fish do not. If men feel "wet"-alien-in a world where evil abounds, he reasons, an unseen kingdom of Tightness must exist, and that means God. From there Lewis proceeds to explain evil via the Fall of Man and to offer Christ as the solution. In one passage Lewis rejects the "foolish" idea that Jesus was just a "great moral teacher." No, he says, this...

...able-bodied young men without work in Mexico, victims of agricultural mechanization and a wildly expanding population, who are willing to work at menial jobs for longer hours and lower wages than Americans.

...army's problem is that it is an army. In a non-military conflict such as exists in Ulster, a conflict of unseen gunmen and clandestine bombings, the instincts of an army are dangerous. By nature, an army feels uneasy without a clear enemy; and in Ulster, there are no clear enemies. The British army has, unfortunately, judged their enemy to be the Catholic community. Subject to the constant attacks of IRA, it has been obliged to concede that the entire Catholic population is in hostile sympathy with the paramilitaries. Indeed, given the secretive nature...
