WASHINGTON An ancient slab of green stone inscribed with insects, ears of corn, fish and other symbols is indecipherable so far, but one message is clear: It is the earliest known writing in the Western Hemisphere. The ancient Olmec civilization of Mexico probably produced the faintly etched symbols around 900 B.C., or roughly three centuries before what previously had been proposed as the earliest examples of writing in the Americas.

To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the `Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award', Montblanc has launched a particularly refined and elegant writing instrument, `Maecenas', paying tribute to Gaius Cilnius Maecenas, a Roman widely regarded as the founding father of cultural patronage. Limited to just 4,810 pieces, this Patron of Art Limited Edition is a fitting tribute to Maecenas, richly decorated with symbols from his life and greatly influenced by Roman aesthetics. The design of this writing instrument is inspired by the columns of Roman temples; the barrel is a creation in marbled lacquer, reflecting the magnificent architecture of ancient Rome. The first verse of an ode to Maecenas, composed by Horace, appears on the cap, crafted, as are its rings, from 925 sterling silver.

In her analysis of the place of religion in Xicanisma, Ana Castillo says: Although the Catholic Church as an institution cannot, for a number of reasons, guide us as Mexican Amerindian women into the twenty-first century, we cannot make a blanket dismissal of Catholicism, either. Over thirty years later, after the ascent of the Religious Right to political power and the rhetoric of crusade and jihad after September 11, it is easy to assume that feminist politics must be secular politics.\n Where other feminist essayists identify the act of writing itself as a movement out of the mind-forged manacles of kyriarchy, Anzaldúa is more cautious, offering a record of spirit-experience only in fragments.

Every society has its status symbols, ranging from the size of the mountain of enemy heads on your hut to the automobile you cannot really afford to drive. I have it on authority that this is also true in the clergy, both ancient and modern. I knew one English seminarian who was rumored to keep carbon copies of all his correspondence for the day when he retired from the rank of lord bishop. This way, his biographers would have all the sources they needed. Last I heard, he never made it, and in any event, he did not talk to a mere colonial such as myself. A Protestant source assures me that the possession of a doctorate, such as a doctor of ministry degree, can ease your way to a high post. Several years ago, a Catholic seminarian told the New York Times that seminarians who appeared in ...
Helping Moderate Muslims By Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf It is customary for Muslims to begin by first invoking the name of the all-merciful and all-compassionate creator, the creator of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the God of Abraham, the God of Ishmael and Isaac, the God of Moses and Aaron, the God of Jesus Christ and his mother, Mary, and the God of Mohammed. [...] I'm grateful to our mayor, Michael Bloomberg, and to so many others who have spoken out in favor of our project. Participatory government; freedom of speech; separation of church and state: these were among my earliest lessons in American civic life.
