  • Exorcism Undergoes a Revival Across Europe – “Citing modern ills, hundreds of priests have trained to expel the devil.”
  • Scientology Protests Start Across Australia – I know there were also protests in other areas – if someone knows a particularly good article elsewhere, feel free to leave it in the comments.
  • Why Housewives Need Science – A clip from a 50’s educational film that explains to girls why they’ll need science as married women – to cook, of course!
