Kasper concludes that the Council of Chalcedon provided "a valid and permanently binding" version of what the New Testament teaches, "namely [that] in Jesus Christ, God Himself has entered into a human history." All the dogmas and investigations of the mystery of God in Christ, he concedes, "come up against an insuperable limit of thought, speech and sympathetic insight." To Kasper, however, this limitation is actually "something extremely positive, not darkness but excess of light, dazzling to our eyes...
...unfortunate that Bertolucci chose to portray unresolveable tension; whether or not his message is valid, it does not lend itself easily to a heavyhanded treatment. The main conflict in 1900 is the love these two men bear for each other, across ideological and social grounds; and the main question we are left with is why they bear it.

Julia Child's 1961 book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and her superbly low-key, artfully maladroit TV demonstrations were immensely influential in persuading her fellow citizens that serious cuisine is not some kind of Gallic voodoo but rather...
...movement is very young. Nine years ago, when I would talk about a woman on the Supreme Court, people would look at me as if I were crazy." No longer. Sums up Pam Faust, executive director of the California State Commission on the Status of Women: "The changes are valid and profound. Whether or not you're for the women's movement, it has changed your life." On that there is no argument...
