...Father, it's plenty descriptive and doesn't wrench a person outside the bounds of ordinary human experience. Mary, the Eternal Woman, is indeed typical, for she cannot deal straightforwardly with sexuality, and her virginity has nothing to do with her reservations and furtive denial of desire. Christ is rarely lucid. Perhaps the burden of sin makes him appear half-witted a lot of the time, and his body is wracked by hoarse coughing and as wasted as a consumptive's. He is also referred...
...there are some small ways to escape into a world more harmonious than Cambridge, or a time less threatening than Reading Period. Upstairs at the Fogg, Orazio Gentileschi's Madonna With the Sleeping Christ Child (a recent acquisition) shines with that inexplicable inner light of Caravaggio, Gentileschi's master. And in a small back gallery on the first floor of the museum the Heinz Gotze Exhibit of Japanese Art exemplifies the peculiarly Oriental process of passing from the seen to the unseen.

Next the new Yankees took the field against the Minnesota Twins. They hit the ball all over the new park, beat back a 4-0 deficit and won the game 11-4. George Steinbrenner told the newspapers that he wanted to see 100,000 people in his new park by the end of the three game series. He got his wish...
...Like I said, we went to Cronin's, I sat at a table with a bunch of Loebies who talked about past glories and other dramatic doings, O'Brien showed himself to be an Irishman with many voices, but at the other end of the table we told Jesus Christ jokes. It got time to leave, and I lent my roommate my tuxedo jacket so he could go to the Porcellian Club, and I skipped home just in my suspenders...
