Hope for All. Sheen has already visited one-fourth of the 170 churches in his jurisdiction, delivered 60 talks to civic and religious groups-including a sermon at a synagogue that drew one of the largest audiences in its history. "I spoke to them of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob," Sheen said. "Abraham was a great man, Isaac was a mediocre man and Jacob was a deceiver. But God loved them all-so there is hope...
...growing residential sector, Zingonia offers $7,000 apartments and $30,000 two-story villas. The area is separated from the industrial sector by a park, civic center, soccer stadiums, swimming pools and tennis courts. Zingone has already almost recouped some $10 million he invested in a smaller community ("Quartiere Zingone") outside Milan that houses 8,700 people, and has attracted such U.S. firms as Pfizer and International Harvester. He expects to get his $40 million back from Zingonia-with a handsome profit-by 1974, when he turns its municipal buildings and 45 miles of public roads over...

And since he'd left the keys to the city back at the office, His Honor gave Audrey a kiss on the cheek, while Mary Lindsay said placidly: "I think anything Audrey does...

But the house, which for 83 seasons had provided an echo chamber for virtually all the world's great voices, was sort of a wreck already, with no rehearsal space, some acoustical dead spots, a dusty stage that choked the singers, and a dingy exterior. Besides, the Met, which moved last September to its new $45 million Lincoln Center home...
