...Protestant scholars have found a common bond -the task of explaining the Word of God in its historical perspective." Today Scriptural criticism may be the most ecumenical of all pursuits. "I'm working in the closest understanding with every good Protestant scholar," says Dominican Father Roland de Vaux, head of the Ecole Biblique and world-famed as one of the editors of the Dead Sea Scrolls. "We don't agree on everything, but the more we study, the more we discover, the more we understand-and the more we agree." This agreement is now going beyond the sharing...
...Biographical Enquiry inquired so deeply into the legends surrounding T. E. Lawrence, the World War I hero (in Aldington's view he was a liar and a fraud), that it brought cries of outraged protest from Lawrence fans the world over; of a heart attack; in Sury-en-Vaux, France. An expatriate who spent most of his life in France and Italy, Aldington wrote more than 40 books, including his brilliantly angry look back at World War I, Death of a Hero...
...Year? How big the market will grow is anyone's guess. Some small-car importers put the potential as high as 1,000,000 cars annually. Detroit doubts it. Nevertheless, the Big Three are taking a long, fresh look at the possibilities. General Motors already imports its Vaux-halls and Opels at the rate of 23,000 annually; Ford is deep in the market with 27,350 English Fords this year, will soon start importing the German Taunus at the rate of 8,600 a year. Despite all rumors, neither Ford nor G.M. nor Chrysler plans to produce...
Scented Boudoirs. Amid the frostbitten tubers of modern fiction, no one, but no one, digs Ouida's passion flowers. Her heroes and heroines had names like Fulke Ravensworth, Marion Lady Vavasour and Vaux or Sir Fulke Erceldorme. Elinor Glyn and her tiger skin were nothing to Ouida's scented boudoirs. Yet, in an age before Cinerama, she was a great descriptive writer, able to evoke Venice, Vienna, Chamonix without ever having paid them so much as a courtesy call...
Shadow Land. Dean of the scholars is Pere Roland de Vaux, a French Dominican priest who has spent the last 24 of his 53 years in Palestine. Archaeologist de Vaux supervises the publication of the fragments, leads the periodic expeditions to the Qumran ruins. (Features of a typically rugged day there: Mass at 5:30 a.m., digging in the merciless heat until 3 p.m., paper work amid clouds of mosquitoes until midnight.) De Vaux's fellow priest, Polish-born Father Joseph Milik, 35, who left Warsaw when the Communists took over, is known as the Scrollery's fastest...
