Although Kuchel and Reagan make no display of mutual admiration, their staffs are in frequent consultation. The Governor and the Senator have found it easy to cooperate on public-works programs to benefit the state, and have even agreed on a controversial plan to preserve California's redwood forests (TIME, March 24). Reagan's help on such nonideological issues can only buttress the look-what-I've-done-for-California theme that Kuchel will probably use in his re-election campaign. And Kuchel allowed solemnly last week: "I think a U.S. Senator has a duty to cooperate...
...time in more than six years of U.S. involvement in Viet Nam, the Defense Department last week issued a detailed tabulation of American war dead. The breakdown enumerated the home states, ranks and ages of the 7,826 servicemen killed by the enemy up to March 1, 1967. Items: > California, the nation's most populous state, took the heaviest losses: 683 dead. New York, second most populous, had the second highest toll: 530. Next were Pennsylvania, 484; Texas, 442; Ohio, 388 and Illinois, 378. >Southern states-a point not made by the Pentagon-suffered proportionately higher losses than other...

...Christian thinking begins by rejecting the Greek dualism of body and soul. The old idea of a soul that departs from the body at death "makes no sense at all," says Roman Catholic Theologian Peter Riga of California's St. Mary's College. "There is just man, man in God's image and likeness. Man in his totality was created and will be saved." Such theologians emphasize God's presence in the world. "God is the source of creativity and change and human selfhood," says Harvard's Harvey Cox. In sum, the process of salvation...
...city of man? That surely is not all there is to religion." Declares Stanford's Robert McAfee Brown: "If God is a God of love, if he is ultimate, that which he loves and sustains he will not simply discard." Jesuit Sociologist-Theologian Paul Hilsdale of California's Loyola University believes that the afterlife, whatever its form, must somehow preserve individual awareness. "Since I conceive of myself as a consciousness which is open to others in love," says Hilsdale, "I feel fairly certain that I will be able to think and to love in the next life...
