...usually with qualifications. Says Los Angeles Methodist Bishop Gerald Kennedy: "The Lord made man and woman, and this implies a sexual relationship and sexual harmony which is in the center of nature." He is echoed by Harvard Divinity School's Harvey Cox, who, from a theological viewpoint, sees "the man-woman relationship as a model of the God-man relationship...
Human Tide. The phrase is characteristic of both the emotion and the viewpoint of this new book in which Author Tuchman sets out to "discover the quality of the world from which the Great War came"-whose guns she set thundering memorably in Guns of August two years ago. Granddaughter of a onetime ambassador to Turkey, niece of former Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr., a Radcliffe graduate ('33) and wife of a Park Avenue physician, Mrs. Tuchman proved in Guns that she could write better military history than most men. In this sequel, she tells her story with cool...
Westinghouse's former chief, Gwilym A. Price, 70, is now the chairman of the University of Pittsburgh's trustees, and has been assuming more and more responsibility at the financially troubled institution since Chancellor Edward Litchfield resigned last year.

Photographed in deep shadow, often with a swinging camera, such scenes look old-fashioned and crude. Films have developed more sensitive means of conveying...
...distribution scheme dictated by just this kind of logic. The Faculty apparently felt then that a Harvard education should impart more than a specialist's insights, that a student should be asked to step back from departmental studies and examine a broad area of knowledge from an interdepartmental viewpoint. Much of the Redbook philosophy has since been called into question, but the value of good General Education courses seems as great today as it did then. The Faculty reaffirmed the Gen Ed requirement by a two-on-one vote last spring and we hope it does so again today...
