...combination of revivalist rally and Southern medicine show, Wallace's campaign is a curious blend of the old, old politics and the brand-new. It is certainly livelier than either of the other candidates'. To open a rally, there is "Sam Smith and His American Independent Party Band," a small combo with electrified instruments that churns out Nashville-style country music and leads the audience in a slow rendition of God Bless America. Then on come the Taylor Sisters, Mona and Lisa, two seasoned blondes who harmonize a couple of toe-tapping standards and belt out an anthem entitled...
...nearly finished product. Prince has woven just about all of the show's components into his unifying conception. Ronald Field's joyous choreography is so tightly linked to the staging, that it's hard to believe Prince did not devise the dances himself. Don Walker's orchestrations, a precise blend of Greek and Broadway instrumentation, flood the theatre with frenzies of rhythm, adding as much to the atmosphere as Boris Aronson's simplistically beautiful sets...

...ardent advocate of change and renewal within the church. A Flem ish Belgian who teaches at the University of Nijmegen, he was a major influence on the revolutionary and highly popular "Dutch Catechism" .(TIME, Dec. 1). His voluminous writings, all of which have been published with episcopal imprimaturs, blend insights from Thomas Aquinas and modern existentialists, and his opinions are frequently provocative. He believes, for example, that Mary's perpetual virginity is symbolic rather than a biological fact. The resurrection, he suggests, does not imply the physical recomposition of Jesus' body, but "the impact of his personality...
