...racially embattled Little Rock, a prime point of interest last week was a religious conversion. Not long ago, Clothing Dealer Jimmy Karam was a pal of Governor Faubus, a segregationist leader of the 1957 riots at Central High School; during last fall's elections, he faked an inflammatory picture of a Negro family agitating for "equality" (TIME, Oct. 6). But now invective ("lying bastards, gutless s.o.b.s.") is gone from his lips. He holds court in his Main Street store, telling all comers that "only Jesus is important. If everybody could take Jesus to their hearts, there would...

...does he feel about his past rabble-rousing at Central High School? "I am positive of this," he says. "Our only problem is working for Jesus to help other persons become Christians. I have no hatred for anyone. We should get people on both sides to really accept Christ...

These shock waves, traveling through the water, break open the cells in much the way that a depth charge can crack a submarine's hull, and the cell's contents-mostly water, protein, and fat or oil-spill out. The slurry is passed through...

...factual propositions. And it was Luther who proclaimed "the priesthood of all believers," declaring that each man has the right of genuine personal judgment before God on the most intimate matters relating to his soul. Protestant Christianity seems to have had built into it, from the first, a relentless central drive toward absolute sincerity in the acceptance of literal truth--a condition that has evidently proved self-undermining so far as the faith of a large number of Harvard undergraduates is concerned.
