Summary

Parabola's Winter 1993 issue: The City Cities, like people, have personalities. Every city, even the toughest and most commercial minded, has a conscience and a heart. Just as in the construction of the human body and psyche, there are great numbers of systems in operation at once, often competing against each other, but always animated by that life-giving center.... Whether as citizens of today's metropolis or as aspiring citizens of the household of God, we need to find ourway from the city's outer walls to its center, to its heart, where the treasure we seek lies hidden. --from the editorial Focus Cover: "View of New Novgorod" by Alekseij Bogoljubov St. Petersburg, Russian State Museum Art Resource, New York In this issue:
