Libraries and Books. In an effort to dramatize its plight, Newark's city council last month voted to close on April 1 the city's public library system and its distinguished museum, which was the first in the U.S. to exhibit primitive American painting and sculpture. Newark-bred Author Philip Roth (Portnoy's Complaint) protested: "In a city seething with social grievances there is probably little that could be more essential to the development and sanity of the thoughtful and ambitious young than the presence of those libraries and those books."

...city's race relations probably hit bottom during the 1967 riot. The militants are now concentrating most of their energies on capturing the mayoralty in May 1970. Though they make up a majority of the population, Negroes were unable to win even one of three city council seats that fell vacant in 1968: the black population is younger than the white citizenry and does not turn out as heavily to vote.

The 16th century Council of Trent re-endorsed Augustine's attack on Pelagianism for the Counter-Reformation Catholic Church. And only last year, Pope Paul rephrased the traditional understanding of original sin as part of his modern creed...
Near Anarchy. Both the Trades Union Council and Barbara Castle's ministry have tried to mediate. The union leaders seemed to be adamant about scrapping the "penalty clauses" and asked for additional pay increases. At week's end, negotiations had produced proposals acceptable to three of the unions, the company and the government-a development that could end the strike quickly. In Parliament, Mrs. Castle said: "Some industries are getting near anarchy today." British Ford's negotiators confessed that they felt like characters in Alice in Wonderland. They could hardly overstate the absurdity of bargaining with scores...
