...viewed in 30 states. To qualify for the cover, the millionaire had to be American, under 40, self-made and interesting. In an assignment that might be the envy of many a girl, Researcher Mary Cronin not only interviewed 15 young millionaires but also talked to physicians, psychiatrists and clergymen on what makes a man want to make a mil lion. As he handed in his story for editing by Edward Jamieson, Marshall Loeb couldn't resist the observation that writing a TIME cover calls for about the same ingredients as becoming a millionaire: careful research, singleness of purpose...
Typical Lament. Perhaps because they are so busy applying practical knowledge, few of the millionaires have any time for religion. Clergymen report that only the Catholics among the new millionaires remain close to their church. Says Hal Prince: "I gave up thinking about religion long ago-I couldn't dope it out." The millionaires also have an extremely high divorce rate. Typical is the lament of Del Coleman, 40, a tavernkeeper's son who bought and sold a succession of sickly companies and gained control of Chicago's Seeburg Corp. (jukeboxes and vending machines). Says Coleman, whose...
Rescinded Gifts. Other clergymen have received similar threats. Although controversial Bishop James A. Pike of San Francisco has given Episcopalians numberless reasons for withholding donations, gifts to the diocese of California appear to be down 15% in 1965 chiefly because he opposed the constitutional amendment that repealed the state's fair housing act.

Understandably, they feel a certain anguish because the direction of their thought leads them to feel greater sympathy for Camus than for clergymen of their own churches. Nonetheless, they argue that God's disappearance from human history cannot be denied, and that there is nothing wrong with a Christian accepting this as a fact. As Hamilton asks, in his book The New Essence of Christianity: "If Jesus can wonder about being forsaken by God, are we to be blamed if we wonder...
Opera News conducted a far-from-conclusive survey and found that business and professional men form the largest bloc of the audience, while government officials, writers and editors, and clergymen hardly attend at all. The number of Ph.D.s in the audience is increasing while the number of high school degrees is declining - leading one analyst to wonder whether opera fans are high school dropouts with Ph.D.s. While most opera fans, like the best pilots and astronauts, are over 30, the young are clearly getting more interested. James K. Guthrie, of the California Arts Commission, observes that "boys and girls have...
