		<description><![CDATA[Some people think music a primitive art because it has only a few notes and rhythms. But it is only simple on the surface; its substance on the other hand, which makes it possible to interpret this manifest content, has all the infinite complexity that&#8217;s suggested in the external forms of other arts and that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have considered Schaeffer the philosopher in part 1, now we will consider Schaeffer the historian. The next paragraph begins by asserting that while Rome was great, it could not answer the &#8220;basic problems that all humanity faces.&#8221; We are still not told what these problems are, but rather than ruining the suspense, he changes [...]]]></description>

Good papers require little comment; bad papers require too many and so the best policy is to send the student back to the drawing board. (For those that fall [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a brief yet surprisingly thorough and lucid treatment of the issues at the heart of the Reformation.  The circumstance inspiring the writing thereof was a series of conferences between Lutherans and Romanists in the wake of the Lutheran World Federation&#8217;s 1963 major statement On Justification.  Dr. Preus argues that the doctrinally harmonious spirit [...]]]></description>

The purpose of this essay is to bring some arguments against the proposed revision to the church. There are general stylistic changes that I will not dwell on, but [...]]]></description>

I do not have these all at my fingertips, but there are a few points of orientation that should have been made that I don&#8217;t recall being made very often. So these comments are added as an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ronald Reagan proposed the so-called zero-option for Europe. Roughly speaking, the US would remove all nuclear missiles from Europe if the USSR would do the same. The proposal electrified the world, and arguably, led to substantial disarmament, if not the fall of the Soviet Union. Or perhaps the fix was in on this too. We [...]]]></description>

Yes, the enemies of all humanity and decency, the &#8220;Nazis,&#8221; had invaded half of Poland; but then the great hope [...]]]></description>
