AT FIRST GLANCE, "REPORTING the War: The Journalistic Coverage of World War II" at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington looks like the kind of show that only a World War II buff could love. Lots for them to love here: documents, reading matter, fine photographs like W. Eugene Smith's from Saipan -- though most of the photographs are not shown to great advantage. A few, like Margaret Bourke-White's spectacular view of an air raid on Moscow, are impressively enlarged, then cropped to fit into archways. As for the visual material about reporters, it is by and large less interesting than their words, appropriately enough. And memorabilia like the helmet of the writer Richard Tregaskis or Edward R. Murrow's microphone, though they may quicken many a pulse, will induce narcolepsy in some viewers.

For years large majorities of American Roman Catholics have disagreed with their church's official teachings on subjects like contraception, remarriage after divorce and ordaining women to the priesthood. But a New York Times/CBS poll taken in April turned up a more startling result. Since ancient times the church has taught that the bread and wine offered at mass during the sacrament of holy communion are mysteriously changed into the actual body and blood of Christ, in keeping with Jesus's words at the Last Supper. In contrast, some Protestant views treat the bread and wine as symbols or reminders.

Date: 04 June 1994
To the Editor: Jim Johnston, Reynolds Tobacco chairman, testifying last month before a Congressional subcommittee, told Representative Henry Waxman and his colleagues: "The anti-smoking industry is committed to achieving what essentially amounts to prohibition. When confronted, they will tell you they don't want prohibition. But their actions belie those claims. Regardless of what we, in the tobacco industry do, our opponents in the anti-smoking industry cry, 'Foul.' "
