Putting on Bonds. Opponents of centralized authority denounce it as a betrayal of the movement's tradition of local autonomy. At last week's meeting, the Rev. Robert Burns of Atlanta, spokesman for several hundred churches, asked: "Why is all this control from the top necessary? There has never yet been an organization that, given power, didn't use it. This is no less than incipient dictatorship." Another dissident, the Rev. Rex Miller of Jewell, Kans., complained that "at a time when the Roman Catholic Church is loosening the bonds of its hierarchy, we find ourselves putting...

...playwright's first New York production, nearly a decade after his death at 39. Vian, who was also a novelist, poet, composer, translator, jazz trumpeter and engineer, obviously owed much to the work of Franz Kafka.

...lawyer," he begins, "and I don't understand all this fancy language. Sure I'll go for 'expansion' rather than 'growth.' But I do want to say here that I will support any program, any program at all, no matter what you call it, see, that gives rent-control to the poor and brings in low-cost housing for the people who need it most--just so long as it also sends Harvard and MIT packing across the river.
