...Please correct your reference to Czechoslovakia in TIME'S foreign law story [May 7]. U.S. citizens of Czechoslovak origin or descent do not usually have dual citizenship, and they and their U.S.-born children are not subject to arrest if they visit Czechoslovakia.

For his part, Erhard agreed to leave open for the time being any increase in the Common Market...

Now the Baptists seem willing to correct this unenviable record. Last week in Dallas, 8,000 "messengers" to the Convention's annual sessions voted overwhelmingly to accept a report by the Christian Life Commission that sharply criticized the church for silence on racial issues...
