There have long been reports that the Green Berets also employ some dirty ways-if occasionally necessary ones. It is as easy to confirm such reports as it is to get the CIA to admit that it engages in spying on other countries. Nonetheless, the Special Forces have been accused of torturing and killing prisoners, parachuting poisoned foodstuffs into enemy camps, and slipping doctored ammunition, designed to explode on use, into enemy arms caches...
Only the transitory lends itself to description; but what we feel, surmise but will never reach, the intransitory behind all appearance, is indescribable. And what is it? Christ calls this "eternal blessedness," and I cannot do better than employ this beautiful and sufficient mythology-the most complete conception to which it is possible to attain...
Running backs have been talented and plentiful in recent years, but this fall Yovicsin will be able to employ two different backfields of first-string quality. Senior Ray Hornblower, Gatto's shifty running mate last year, may team with sophomore Steve Harrison, a hard-running halfback who scored 48 points for the freshmen last fall, to form one of the most dangerous pairs in the East.

A better stimulator of ideas...
...native songs, instruments and dances, looking on them as part of their rejected past. Experimental native works like the famous Missa Luba were first encouraged by white missionaries. Now, however, the black clergy has taken the lead in Africanizing Catholic ritual. Masses all across the continent are beginning to employ old dance forms and chants. In Zambia, even the tribal lamentations at the bedside of the dying are being reintroduced. Vernacular masses can be found almost everywhere, and native drums, long used to call the faithful to church, are now a common part of many religious services. Though...
