Brandt's enemies, especially his Christian Democratic rivals, have already pounced on Guillaume's exposure to attack the Chancellor, calling Guillaume "the most important and best-placed agent" yet uncovered. At the very least, the incident underlined Bonn's status as the espionage capital of the Western world. German and Allied intelligence sources estimate that there are some 15,000 Communist spies in West Germany. Over the years, West German counter-intelligence has uncovered hundreds of spies, including members of the Bundestag, senior government officials, and even key agents in West Germany's own intelligence service...
...novel, of course, is powerful by innuendo. Nick Carroway's sense distills the sense of Gatsby, and Carroway's values--the superior morality of the Midwestern small town Christian conscience, the nostalgia for the old American orders under eclipse--judge West Egg. But this movie doles out portions of the narrative like a mess sergeant in an army canteen, everybody gets some: Mr. Gats gets some of Carroway's, Carroway is made to speak what had been silent observation, Daisy and Gatsby even get to act out some of Jordan Baker's.

As collected in a new paperback, Dare to Live: The Taizé Youth Experience (Seabury; $2.95), the ideas are eclectic and ambitious. Often they reflect local versions of radical Christianity. A Latin American, for instance, looks forward to a somewhat Utopian kind of social, economic and political liberation-a Christian "revolution" that will set the world aright. Others view Christian life as a "sign of contradiction" in a pagan civilization-to see their role as an example of selfless living in a selfish world. "The council...
Brother Roger's work with young people and his efforts toward Christian renewal were enough to win him the second annual Templeton Prize, an $80,000 award by the U.S.-based Templeton Foundation to a person "who has inspired a new thrust in religion and contributed to the knowledge and love of God." Two weeks ago at Windsor Castle, Prince Philip presented the prize. Brother Roger plans to give the money to poor young people who share the Taizé ideal of "struggle and contemplation." He began by leaving part of it to youths struggling for peace in Northern...
