------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]


** My Judgment on Nuremberg ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------

** How to Become a Low-Tech Family ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------


** PECO & RUTH GASKOVSKI
------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------

** Walker Percy’s Pilgrimage ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------


** ALGIS VALIUNAS
------------------------------------------------------------

From the December issue: Percy’s mind and heart and soul were swayed variously by a friend at Chapel Hill who quietly got up at dawn to attend daily Mass, a Catholic sanatorium patient who defended his faith with steamroller logic, and the gathering awareness that the faith offered a wisdom unavailable to the scientific method.
