Sunday church is an all-family affair. On one recent Sunday at Sullivan's Methodist Church, the ushers were Charlie, Sons Charles, John and Son-in-Law Roger Roney; Daughter-in-Law Mary played the organ. Until recently, Mabel was the church's membership secretary, and Daughter Janet often sings in the choir. Shuman teaches Sunday school after the service, as he has for 25 years...
Faced with this fact last week was Algerian Foreign Minister Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who was on an urgent mission to Ghana hoping to clear the way for the grandest conference of all, an Afro-Asian wingding. The affair, originally scheduled for Algiers in June, had to be postponed until Nov. 5 because of the overthrow of Ahmed ben Bella. But shortly after the new date had been set, Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah suddenly put off his own spectacular−the 36-nation Organization of African Unity summit until Oct. 21, which was so close to the Algiers summit that many...
...troop-carrying transports and helicopters in Viet Nam, the U.S. has developed its own brand of mobility. Last week, despite shifting veils of monsoon rain and cloud, that mobility was being used to good effect. Siege & Spider Holes. First demonstration came in the battle for Route 19, an affair that at first glance seemed doomed to repeat the bloody disasters of Song Be and Dong Xoai. For 70 days the Viet Cong had besieged the tiny crossroads fortress of Due Co (see map). Perched precariously on high ground just seven miles from the Cambodian border, Due Co guards the critical...
...dozen crises are mentioned and in tensified in every episode. Though the first Peyton Place was to have the same protagonists and proclivities as Metalious' peeping tome, Producer Monash insisted that the tone would be different. The novel, he says, was "a negativistic attack. Ours is a love affair with the town. The general feeling we have is of people evolving toward the light." But after 102 episodes, there has been little perceptible evolution. Last week's three chapters, for instance, interwove the multiple subplots without even a glimmer of psychic peace or a fleeting, joyous guffaw...
...enterprising reader, 1965 Harvard Graduate Roy Cobb, recently rediscovered Sax Rohmer, whose Fu Manchu books, he predicts, are a sure bet for rediscovery-at least by the camp set. But some of the best contemporary mystery writers remain curiously underappreciated. Among them are Englishman Andrew Garve (The Cuckoo Line Affair); John D. MacDonald, the O'Hara of the whodunit; Australia's Arthur W. Upfield, whose detective hero, Napoleon Bonaparte, is half aborigine; Donald Hamilton, whose Matt Helm is a sort of Yankee 007; and Ed McBain, a master of suspenseful prose, who in real life is Evan Hunter...
