...operators. But the tide is beginning to turn, as mainstream churches have raised a new generation of dedicated Protestant ministers who are bringing religion alive again in their once-dying urban parishes. Every denomination has some of these clerical heroes, but none are more dedicated than those who belong to the sedate Protestant Episcopal Church. Most industrial cities in the U.S. have a cadre of Episcopal priests who are turning old middle-class churches into missions for the poor-and in the process helping to change their faith's public image as a fat-cat church in suburban captivity...
...photographer Alfred Stieglitz heralded the coming exhibition in phrases so extravagant that it hardly seemed possible that the show would live up to his claims. "This glorious affair," he wrote, "is coming off at the 69th Regiment Armory in New York. Don't miss it. If you still belong to the respectable old first primer class in art, you will see there stranger things than you ever dreamed were on land or sea-and you'll hear a battle cry of freedom without any soft pedal...
...Hospital for the Insane at Milledgeville, was a monstrous snake pit. Behind the façade of an administration building that looks like the White House, it was crowded to its rotten, rat-infested rafters with 12,000 patients.

One is a Roman Catholic, and most of the others are Protestants who belong to the sobersided Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship-Episcopalians, Lutherans, Presbyterians and Methodists. Five have Phi Beta Kappa keys, and six plan to enter the ministry after graduation. They date their experience to two campus visits last October by the Rev. Harald Bredesen, pastor of the First Reformed Church of Mount Vernon, N.Y., and a prominent advocate of glossolalia as a means of heightening the spiritual life of churches. His formula for speaking in tongues: put the vocal cords...
Many of the world's impatiently developing nations almost inevitably turn to a form of do-it-yourself foreign aid: simply nationalizing any foreign-owned properties around. Often the biggest banks and businesses belong to foreigners, and the hosts suffer from both the weakness of envy and the need for cash. Last month Burma's government nationalized 14 foreign banks, and this month Nyasaland seized a German-controlled brewery on the pretext that its beer was designed to lull natives out of any fight for independence. Last week in Manhattan, even while seeking U.S. aid, Brazil...
