...Maronites are one of 14 Eastern Christian churches that are in doctrinal union with Rome, although they have their own customs, liturgical languages and ritual practices. Maronites trace their origin back to the 5th century monks of Bait-Marun, who, from a fortress-monastery dedicated to St. Maron, upheld the faith against heretics. Although isolated from other Christian groups by Islam's triumph in the East, the Maronites always maintained their loyalty to the Pope; when the knights of the First Crusade landed in the Middle East, Maronites were there to help them set up camp.

The turnabout on the New Deal, many said, was long overdue; for the College should never have drifted away from its traditionally staunch, Republican stand. Cambridge was, after all, not really...
...comment on medicare for the aged [June 1]. Not only are our hospital bills paid for, but our drugs, doctors' visits to our homes (a luxury in America). Our eyes and teeth are all taken care of-and last, but not least, our free choice of doctors is upheld. What a comfort to know that my savings are safe in the Bank of England-without the thought at the back of my mind that one day the lot will have to go on medical expenses...
