...straight, nonpolitical type characteristic of Campus Crusade. One called the People's Christian Coalition was more radical in its approach to the Gospel, and caused a ruckus at a midweek meeting when some of its members joined with Mennonites to hold up a CHRIST OR COUNTRY banner and chant "Stop the war." They reflected a feeling among a minority of evangelicals at the conference that Bright's brand of Christianity is lacking in social concern...
...Junior Banner is Peckinpah's most contemporary western, set in Prescott, Ariz., a town that hews to the traditions of the past by holding a rodeo every year even as its outskirts are being bulldozed for a housing development. Ace (Robert Preston) used to be a champ, a great bull rider who once performed in Madison Square Garden and talked to Jack Dempsey as one champion to another. Now he devotes most of his time to hustling up a stake...
Gloria Emerson, the New York Times reporter who witnessed so much suffering in Vietnam, was walking through Holyoke Center a few weeks ago and ran into a crowd of Harvard students protesting the University's Gulf investment, chanting to the effect that "we must hold up the blood-stained banner 'til we die."

Its national anthem-Auferstanden aus Rui-nen-could conceivably salute as many victories as The Star-Spangled Banner or Gitnn Sovietskogo Soyuza. Last summer, in fact, the steadily improving East Germans bested the rest of Europe, including the Soviet Union, in track and field, swimming and rowing. At the winter Olympic Games in Sapporo last February, they won more medals than any nation except Russia, which had twice...
