...strong will. Pius XII for his knowledge and wisdom. John XXIII for his limitless goodness." There is no question of his willingness to pursue the course John took. At a funeral oration in Milan, he said: "Pope John has shown us some paths which it will be wise to follow. Death cannot stifle the spirit which he so infused in our era. Can we turn away from paths so masterfully traced? It seems to me we cannot...
...Wicked Wise. It did, that is, until last fall, when Martha Schlamme recorded a full album of Weill's best compositions. The album includes songs from Weill's days with Brecht, as well as his later and sweeter French and American music (J'attends un navire, My Ship).

Instead creative activity will be encouraged in the manipulation of forms to an end without aspiring to the production of works of art--though hopefully not excluding that possibility...
...ironical that the same issue should also carry reports on the violence in Alabama engendered by the eruption of race hatred and bigotry. It would be wise to heed what Abraham Lincoln wrote: "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, cannot long retain...
