...book, Religion, Politics and the Higher Learning, Morton G. White, professor of Philosophy, emphasizes the differences between inculcating any type of belief and discussing religion in the same critical spirit with which philosophy is taught. White claims that teaching religion in any meaningful manner involves teaching a particular religion. Since the non-sectarian college is not prepared to do this, he argues that it must confine its instruction to teaching about religion, which "no more constitutes teaching people to be religious...than teaching about Communism amounts to propagating...
Whereas professors like Morton White and Buttrick emphasize the difference between teaching religion and teaching about it, Paul Tillich, University Professor, sees an essential spiritual unity in all attempts at scholarship. In a disquisition last November to the Overseers on "Religion in the Intellectual Life of the University," Tillich concluded: "In many realms of the scholarly work of a university the religious dimension is revealed, independent of a concrete religious tradition."

There was one chink in Quincy's Puritanical armor, however--a woman. Within a week after he heard Eliza Morton sing songs of Burns, he became secretly engaged to her--an engagement which lasted over two years.

The $100,000 Club Cabazon failed to attract the expected bonanza of customers from Palm Springs, and its franchise passed from hand to hand like the Hope diamond, bringing bad luck to everyone who held it. But under the direction of Tallent-appointed Police Chief Robert ("Doc") Morton, an ex-chiropractor, Cabazon quickly won and richly deserved a reputation as the worst speed trap in Southern California. Last year traffic tickets brought in $27,985, while all business license fees returned only $5,817. Explains Morton, who has since broken bitterly with Tallent: "It was all Tallent...
...years that Miss McKenna has been seen in this country, she has done a superlative job in two recent plays, Enid Bagnold's The Chalk Garden and Morton Wishengrad's The Rope Dancers. But she has also recreated an impressive number of classic roles. She has given us a warm Sister Juana and a wonderful Maggie Wylie; and an unmatchably transcendent Saint Joan, which may serve as a yardstick for all future performances by an actress. In Shakespeare, she has now offered us a memorable Hamlet (yes, the title role!), Viola, and Lady Macbeth. And I have not cited...
