...nation that professes equal justice for all, U.S. jurists have long been troubled by the fact that reality seems to provide quite a bit less justice for the poor. This concern is at the root of the Office of Economic Opportunity's $25 million program of legal services for the indigent. During the past year, federal cash has funded no-fee "neighborhood law offices" in 28 major cities, with 22 more cities on the way. The nation's second biggest such project has just received an independent appraisal from a dispassionate Philadelphia judge...
...Things New. On the institutional level, this growing concern with what the Rev. Eugene Smith, executive secretary in the U.S. for the World Council of Churches, calls "the Holy Spirit at work in the world," has led to a spate of discussion. In 1964 the meeting of the World Alliance of Reformed and Presbyterian Churches in Frankfurt, Germany, chose as its theme "Come Creator Spirit."

Yet his prime concern is with myth and religion, with the divine and the animal...
...Just Like a Woman" is one of the very exciting things we have to deal with. Natural, seemingly without artifice but for a few lines, this is Dylan's tenderest humanism since "North Country Blues" (Opus 3). It defines with sincere concern and virtual clairvoyance the girl-woman, innocence-experience, stage of ambivalent transition. Its chorus echoes simply...
