Your article on the development of Methodist colleges and universities in America was by far the most effective presentation of the subject we have seen in brief compass. Incidentally, if there have been "meddlesome bishops" in Methodist education, they have not been encountered here. On the contrary, these enlightened leaders of the church have set an example of statesmanship for our trustees...
...work in the theater, they lived on unemployment insurance and on his odd jobs-social director at a Florida hotel, Arthur Murray dance instructor, Los Angeles cabbie (three rear-end collisions in four weeks). What started the Berman spiral upward was a job with Chicago's talented, improvising Compass Players (TIME, March 21), where, alongside his friends Mike Nichols and Elaine May, he developed his own style of comedy and began to grow into a great performer. He loathes being compared to other comedians, particularly the "sick" ones. Says he of the sickest of them...
...Actor Jack Berlin, she has seen the inside of more high schools around the country than James B. Conant, was married and divorced in her teens (she has a ten-year-old daughter).

Under terms of bilateral treaties and NATO and SEATO alliances, the U.S. also has the stand-by use of some 170 other air- and sea-bases.

...estimation, but not a great one, despite great skill and daring. Saint-Ex's grievous flaw, one that involved him in a dozen crashes and near-crashes, was his absentmindedness. He flew for release, if not escape, and once released, his thoughts did not linger on altimeter or compass. His magnificent Flight to Arras is as much a meditation as it is the log of a dangerous reconnaissance mission into German-occupied French territory. With German fighters closing in, the aviator muses for paragraphs about the country home in which he spent his boyhood; flying through murderous anti-aircraft...
