Quotable quotes

Italian driver Teo Fabi on Indy-style, closed-track racing: ''It looks so easy, but driving the ovals is not as easy as it appears. You have to contend with traffic almost all the time, the speeds are constantly high, and you must maintain your concentration for such a long period.''

Joe DiMaggio, whose baseball feat of hitting safely in 56 consecutive games is still a major league record: '' During my streak, I got 91 hits, not one of which was a bunt. The way kids run today, they should be able to leg out more hits than I ever dreamed of. Yet the record stands.''

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
