Public Relations War. Initially, the Quie measure seemed assured of House passage by a coalition of Republicans and Southerners eager to reduce Washington's influence. But Lyndon Johnson prizes his education program above all other accomplishments. Although the President has been relatively cautious in applying presidential muscle to the 90th Congress, he decided to go all the way to defeat the Quie substitute. He publicly attacked the measure as "fanning the church-public school controversy," applied personal pressure to the Texas delegation and sanctioned a public relations offensive by White House aides and Cabinet members. New York Republican Charles...
R.A.F. Handlebars. A cautious, conservative hunter when he is in the air, Olds leads a three-squadron Phantom wing whose 60 planes have knocked out 22 of the 72 MIGs downed over North Viet Nam to date (v. 20 U.S. fighters lost in aerial combat). Tall and taut at 6 ft. 2 in. and 195 lbs., Olds weighs 10 lbs. less than he did as an All-America tackle on West Point's 1943 football team, has recently sprouted a chestnut R.A.F.-style handlebar mustache that horrified his wife, former Movie Actress Ella Raines, when she visited her husband...

The trip will continue in Africa...

Dr. Goddard relented only to the extent of allowing continued use on 50 patients who had benefited from nothing else...
While Niebuhr and some of his colleagues leaned leftward, U.S. Protestantism was politically cautious during the postwar and cold-war years. There was much emphasis on individual redemption, on "faith in faith," as exemplified by the evangelism of Billy Graham. Since then, the churches have entered a new phase of involvement and activism, of protests and politics. This latest era is not all action, as it may occasionally seem, or all emotion. In recent years the churches have evolved a body of ideas and positions notable for their wide range, their relative readiness to accept change and (on the whole...
