...truth of our religion is not empirical -if it were, we would in many cases have to admit its absurdity. Christianity is not a deductive system, it is the Word of grace spoken into the heart of man in his guilt and tragedy. It grasps the whole being of man, not just his logical faculties. Huxley's comparison of religion and science is like a comparison of music and cost accounting. TIM SWANSON...
...Some Italian anticlericals favored Roman Catholic Kennedy because he would "tell off Cardinal Spellman and set an example to our own Christian Democrats." France's tabloid Paris-Jour, after rhapsodizing over Jackie Kennedy's French ancestry and artistic leanings, declared with evident approval that she "wishes to admit to the White House the Latin Quarter, the quays of the Seine and Montparnasse."

Castro's aides are apparently going on the theory that it would be unseemly for the Maximum Leader to admit susceptibility to such unmentionable ailments.

At the Los Angeles convention I had a hunch about how things were going right from the start, when the minister delivered the invocation and said...
...forcing senior officers to resign, and to give government clerks a 60% raise to discourage the taking of graft. Problem is where to find the money. Chang's men claim they could get it painlessly by confiscating the ill-gotten gains of Rhee's ministers. Privately, they admit such confiscations would be only a drop in the bucket. They would like to have the U.S. foot the bill, but the U.S. is more likely to reduce its aid than to increase it. Only alternative, claim Chang's strategists, is an inevitably painful reduction of the army from...
