Senator Edward Kennedy has proposed a slightly different solution: both Chinas to be seated in the General Assembly, leaving to future discussion the allocation or abolition of the Security Council seat held by Nationalist China since 1945. The trouble with a two-China solution is, of course, that both Peking and Taipei bitterly denounce even the slightest suggestion of it. To skirt the problem, James Thomson has evolved a solution that he describes as "a step into ambiguity." If successful, it would temporarily shelve the Taiwan issue in its present form. Thomson advocates a tacit mutual acknowledgment of Peking...
...rolls. Partly true; partly not. According to a recent study of 205 New York City mothers (10% of them white), which was reported last week at the National Conference on Social Welfare, fewer than half of them turn out that way. As Mignon Sauber, research director of the Community Council of Greater New York, points out, the conventional picture of these women is vastly exaggerated...
...long before proclamations on racial justice were commonplace, the First Assembly of the World Council of Churches declared that segregation by religious organizations is "a scandal within the Body of Christ."

The United Presbyterian Church invited him to address its General Assembly last month, but pointedly took issue with his manifesto's threat of violence to obtain compensation from the churches.

Hines called Forman's manifesto "calculatedly revolutionary, Marxist, inflammatory, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian." The Forman plan, added the General Board of the Disciples of Christ, implies "an ideology we cannot accept and a methodology we cannot approve...
...firm rejection by American clergymen of the violence implicit in Forman's manifesto means that the London recommendations may not win easy acceptance at the World Council's next Central Committee meeting in August. After he returned to New York last week, General Secretary Eugene Carson Blake of the World Council wondered whimsically whether the black militants would be as eager to take over the church's debts as its assets. Even the place where it all began was not inclined to court more trouble. Although Riverside Church has promised to establish a fund for the disadvantaged...
