President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University has refused to interfere in the Casa Italianas' program of lecture discussions on contemporary Italy, it was learned yesterday, from a letter he wrote to Luigi Criscuolo, President of the Italian Constitutional Alliance, an anti-Fascist group. Criscuolo had written to Professor Butler protesting that all the lecturers were in sympathy with the Fascist Government of Italy. He had asked that some anti-Fascisti be allowed to speak. "The University does not permit itself to be used for what it has become fashionable to call propaganda of any kind, nor would it take part in...

On the surface there would seem to be little to unite the Aryan racialists of the neo-Nazi movement with the terrorists of radical Islam. To the neo-Nazis, Muslims are almost all members of ``inferior`` races; and to the Islamic terrorists, the neo-Nazis are almost without exception either atheists or members of fringe quasi-Christian sects. But the reality is that there has been close cooperation between Muslim extremists and Fascists ever since the founding of the Nazi movement in the 1920`s. For all of their differences, Muslim extremists and Nazis have always been united by a common group of beliefs and...

"This was the greatest vote, the greatest margin and the greatest percentage (61 percent) that any President had ever drawn from the American people; we shall live long before we see its like again," the inventor of the modern campaign chronicle, Theodore H. White, wrote after Lyndon Johnson's lopsided triumph over Barry Goldwater in 1964. In fact we would see its like again twice in the next 20 years, and from the Republican side, as Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan swamped their opponents in 1972 and 1984, respectively... Those gripped by either despair or euphoria over the 2004 election might...

For Jupiter, it was the big one. Local pioneer Bessie DuBois, who lived through it, called the hurricane that hit on Sept. 16, 1928, "the hurricane of the century."It was a Category Four storm, said Senior Hurricane Specialist Gil Clark of the National Hurricane Center in Coral Cables.The power of hurricanes is ranked by categories one through five. A five is very rare, and so is anything on the border lineApproachThis particular storm was not unnoticed before it struck Florida. Ships at sea recorded its movement and strength, beginning on Monday, Sept. 10, when the developing low pressure area was...

To the clergy and people of the Anglican Province of Christ the King: The Province of Christ the King has experienced a steady growth for nearly twenty-six years. More and more churchmen are discovering that we have remained faithful to our vows of uncompromising loyalty to the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. The constant cry now for clergy and churches comes from across the country. We must face the loss of the Episcopal Church as it dissolves into a polymorphous ecumenical body. At the last General Convention Meeting in Minnesota, the majority of the House of Bishops of the...

<p>Granted, there is upheaval in the world and there are battles where a great deal is at stake -- life itself. All the more precious, then, the minor skirmishes on the home front that mean a great deal in a small way and remind us of how lucky we are to feel innocent hatreds, from summer to summer, at the ballpark.</p>
