...heaven and hell - the traditional concept of original sin is currently undergoing more se rious and skeptical scrutiny than ever be fore. Liberal Protestants began their criticism in the last century; now many Catholic thinkers are also challenging the doctrine. One of the latest broad sides is the work of the Rev. Herbert Haag, a Catholic Biblical scholar at the University of Tübingen in Germany. In his new book, called Is Original Sin in Scripture? (Sheed & Ward; $3.95), Haag argues that there is no Biblical basis for the doctrine...
...Commission sought reporters' accounts of events, Larry Mulay, general manager of the City News Bureau, censored his own reporters' memos to the commission, including one man's claim that a policeman "calmly kicked [a] photographer in the groin and walked on." Explained Mulay: "We have to work with the police, and we depend on them for information all year long." The Review chided the Tribune for assailing all the "anonymous statements" in the Walker Report, then quoting "unimpeachable" (but anonymous) sources and "men of unquestioned integrity" as the basis for its own story claiming that the report...

As a result, 15% of them become sterile and 30% cripples. In some factories where men are subjected to continual movement and noise, 40% of the men become impotent...
...simple," she found, because "Samoa is a place where no one plays for very high stakes, suffers for his convictions or fights to the death. Caring is slight." The book became a bestseller and basic reading for introductory social-science courses; it is still in print. Though the work broke no theoretical ground, Margaret Mead's conclusion that the Samoan teen-ager was calm and free from trauma provided solid proof that "adolescence is not necessarily a specially difficult period in a girl's life" and, by extension, that so-called "human nature" is almost infinitely plastic...
