...ideal container for prodigal America is the edible ice cream cone. In this vein, there is now much talk about "bio-degradable" bottles and cans. But a container that would quickly dissolve when discarded or immersed in water has yet to hit the market. A Swedish firm, Rigello Pak A.B., claims preliminary success with a cardboard-encased, polyvinyl container that is being tested with beer. The company plans full production early next year. The Rigello bottle, though, does not actually dissolve. According to its makers, it can be crumpled easily for tidy discarding and eventually rots...
...every Negro Christian would agree with this provocative, militant conclusion of Union Theological Seminary's James H. Cone. Today, however, the black churches of the U.S.- which have frequently been accused of excessive caution on civil rights - are rapidly catching up with the secular advocates of Black Power who have created such turmoil in the universities and urban ghettos...
...attempt by blacks to construct a distinctively black theology has a strong this-worldly existentialist cast. "The idea of heaven is irrelevant for black theology," says Cone, the author of a recent book called Black Theology & Black Power.

Williams of Boston University, explained: "The black man cannot divorce theology from social action. Whites say, 'That's not theology at all.' The real question is who is going to define the norms of theology." Some Negro churchmen...
...Joseph R. Washington Jr., author of Black Religion, argues that "if you mean by theology a cognitive body of knowledge and a means to intellectually and structurally understand it, then I question if there is a black theology. I tend not to think of theology as experience." But Cone, perhaps the most ardent exponent of an uniquely Negro Christianity, does not agree. "I don't intend to let black theology be a passing fad," he says. "Students for generations to come will be talking about it. If any white theologian wants to talk...
...make a freeze on nuclear weaponry almost impossible to achieve. Policing an agreement to regulate the number of warheads installed in missiles would not be feasible. Spy satellites can count launch vehicles, but not their contents. Even an inspector on the ground would have to take a missile nose cone apart and physically count the number of warheads inside. Neither side will readily agree to let the other's technical experts get so close to the business end of its nuclear arsenal. By contrast, enforcing a ban on flight tests would be relatively easy. Each side can observe...
