Less enchanted was Jim Bishop, who wrote in his syndicated column that he had read the story twice, looking in vain for TIME'S answer to the question. Author Bishop's mind must have been on another Day, for TIME'S positive view of God permeated the story. Perhaps he skipped too hurriedly over such lines as: "Faith is something of an irrational leap in the dark, a gift...
Such are the tips offered in the thrice-weekly column of Helen Vlachos. In a country where it is a tradition that nobody listens to the opinions of a woman, everybody listens to Helen. One of Greece's most important publishers, the 54-year-old iconoclast puts out the nation's second-largest and best newspaper, Messimvrini (circ. 90,000), and the fifth-largest Kathimerini (56,000).

The war is treated as a natural or ethnic phenomenon, like plagues and Buddhist parades. "Atrocity begets atrocity," drones the narrator...
...better solution than the uncertain safeguard of self-regulation would be the bill now before Congress authorizing the Secretary of Commerce to set mandatory minimum safety standards. The customer himself can hardly detect weak door latches or lance-like steering columns whose deadlines might show up only in a crash. But federal inspectors could locate the hidden killers and require manufacturers to eliminate them. Just as significantly, the government could insure continuing progress in automotive safety by demanding that technical innovations such as the collapsible steering column be installed as soon as they are developed. Then foot-dragging on features...
