Professional critics were quick with praise. Said the New York Herald Tribune's John Crosby: "The Near East crisis gave TV a chance to hold its head up for a change and act like a responsible medium of expression.

Nevertheless, the program's staunchest boosters are the companies working under its umbrella. Boston's Godfrey L. Cabot, Inc., which bought the first policy in 1948 on its British carbon-black plant, points out that an insured company gets a big boost in its credit rating. General Mills, after insuring a bean-processing setup in Pakistan, was so sold on the insurance that it made plans to insure all new foreign investments, "though we hope never to have to collect...

But the man who most energetically carried on the crusade was a Dominican monk, Father Marie-Alain Couturier (TIME, June 20, 1949 et seq.). Before his death in 1954, he sought out artists in their studios, urged them to try their talents at sacred art in modestly abstract and semi-abstract styles. The first significant experiment was the installation of windows by famed Georges Rouault in the small modern Alpine church...
