...flock of excellent sophomore forwards, and Bennett's move to center has provided the Bruins with a dangerous scoring punch however, that has defeated Boston University and forced powerhouse Cornell into overtime already this month. Clearly, the strategy has changed, and Harvard will have to skate with the Bruin squad that it skated at last year...
JUST what are the three books that the minister and his flock have found so satanic and obscene? The first one is Hermann Hesse's Demian, first published in 1919. Hesse happens to be one of the titans of modern literature, and his fiction earned him the Nobel Prize in 1946.

There is an overlay of symbolism and surrealism, and a Jungian concern with...
...Broadway producers have found that homosexuals will flock to plays about themselves. Yet most dramas about deviates are written for heterosexual audiences. The New York stage currently offers John Osborne's A Patriot for Me, Mart Crowley's The Boys in the Band and John Herbert's Fortune and Men's Eyes, a 1967 drama about prison life.

One of his first moves was to appoint the Rev. P. David Finks, a youthful clergyman involved in civil rights causes, to serve...
...following through on his ideas and for failing to communicate with the ordinary parishioners. As a celebrity, he attracted large crowds wherever he went. He urged people to write to him personally about their problems, but when they wrote, they got form letters in reply. Many in his flock felt that he took too strong a position in support of Negro causes, notably a protest group's demand for 600 jobs at Eastman Kodak Co. Parishioners were angered and protested vigorously when he donated church property to the Federal Government last year without consulting them. Finally discouraged, Bishop Sheen...
