Luther and Baptism
A piece someone sent me, dated from 1523, of a baptismal service which Luther translated into German and modified. It does indeed have the exorcism in it. This would have been written six years after the 95 Thesis (31 October 1517). While it seems long for a baptism, remember that baptsims were often done outside the church service proper. Luther speaks not of making a joke of the exorcism, but that those attending the baptism be mindful of the serious nature of sin. Luther also says, in his explanation, that many of the external elements could be left out, but he retained them for the sake of weak consciences. Maybe today it would be better to leave the exorcism OUT for the same reason. Do those who reinstate the exorcism also apply the mud and spittle? One should note the context of Luther when he did something, and often his reason. Sometimes it wasn't a Scriptural reason, but a matter of exercising Christian freedom and avoiding offense.

Why Russia (Likely) Won't Go To War Over Kosovo
Despite dire warnings from the Kremlin and elsewhere of world war over Kosovo, and despite my own un-Pollyannish view of Russia's potential, I do not believe World War III will start in the Balkans in the near future. I believe this both because Russia has much less stake in the Balkans than in the Caspian, and also because the Russian state is much more stable than it has been in some time. Even the top Communist member of the Cabinet has attacked proposals for "rethinking" Russian military doctrine in the face of NATO action in Yugoslavia. This is more a matter of Russia maintaining some sort of balance of power in the world by siding with America's enemies.
