...Catholic theologians, as well as Protestants, Schillebeeckx emphasizes the humanity of Jesus far more than his divinity in order to make the Saviour easier for believers to identify with, more relevant to daily life. He told TIME that he does not deny the ancient Trinitarian dogmas, but seeks to explain "the deeper sense of what was meant in the old days, in a modern...

...when Lahey was called to the White House in March 1944, the physician found that the cancer had metastasized-perhaps to the gastrointestinal tract; several sources confirm that Roosevelt experienced abdominal pains.

...second part of The Motion Picture describes the Enterprise crew's interception and final solution to the problem. The first half seems aimlessly tacked on. The writer and producer thought it necessary to explain the ten year gap between the last episode of the Star Trek television series and The Motion Picture. The resulting footage is not only unwieldy and expensive (a five-minute sequence involving the Starfleet's San Francisco headquarters must have cost at least $2 million) but also damages the rest of the show--the half-hour wasted on James T.
