OUT ON VIDEO

  • By Judy Nichols

CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER - (PG-13, Paramount Home Video). A narration of a fictional war against a Colombian drug cartel, this film has clumsy similarities to the Iran-contra scandal. Harrison Ford stars as Jack Ryan, a CIA analyst who suddenly finds himself promoted to deputy director of intelligence and entangled in illegal operations near the equator. The film entertains with plenty of action and suspense, but it shies away from grappling with the hefty issues raised about government operations. (Aug. 4, 1994)

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.
