Because of an editing error, Gen. Dwight (Ike) Eisenhower was deprived of one star in a photo caption that ran June 11. (See: "How do you do, Mr. President?" page 18.) General (later President) Eisenhower had five stars, not four. The five-star rank was created in World War II and bestowed on George Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, Eisenhower, and Henry Arnold. Three US Navy admirals also had five-star rank in that war: William Leahy, Ernest King, and Chester Nimitz.

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.
