...under God" language cannot be quietly dropped. Fat chance, of course. Still, the ideal solution, I think, would be to render unto Caesar an affirmation of flag and country but to keep God in our hearts, where he belongs, and out of politics. Christ himself was scathing about pharisaical display. Don't try to nationalize the deity; it's a little cheap. The Almighty likes to work on a case-by-case basis anyway. I'm all for patriotism and all for religion. But they need to be watched. Sometimes patriotism becomes the next-to-last refuge of a scoundrel...
...patterns and characteristics of the natural and manmade worlds. From those thousands, Arthus-Bertrand has chosen an evocative 155, enlarged them to more than 2 m wide, weatherproofed them and assembled them in a free, outdoor exhibition entitled "Earth from the Air: A Photographic Portrait of Our Planet." On display till late September in the east garden of London's Natural History Museum, the exhibition will travel around Britain.

They widely eulogized the former Gambino overlord as a philanthropic captain of industry—someone who kept the neighborhood safe, helped out the poor and paid for a fireworks display every Fourth of July in Ozone Park...
...Despite its brief lifespan, the ruling gave rise to the most spectacular display of religious fervor in recent memory, particularly among elected officials. Suddenly, everyone in public office was going out of their way to proclaim their deep, deep love of the Pledge and their unbending faith in God. Wednesday, nearly the full House of Representatives took time from their busy schedules to recite the Pledge and join hands for a rousing rendition of "God Bless America." Hopefully no one will remind them that 50 years ago, before President Eisenhower inserted it into the Pledge, the "under God" phrase didn...
