...story and twelve-page color spread on "The New New York." Members of the color projects staff had been talking about this story for years as they watched New York changing; last spring they decided that this fall would be the time to catch the change at crescendo. Senior Editor Cranston Jones scouted picture possibilities in a top-down convertible; Art Director Michael Phillips, Contributing Editor Kenneth Froslid and Researcher Rosemary L. Frank explored by helicopter. Freelance Photographer Jim Langley, an old hand at TIME color projects (his last previous one: the Air Force Academy Chapel, July...
Rhythmic Tranquillity. In Utica, N.Y., where Davies was born 100 years ago, a retrospective collection of his art is now on show. The 98 works at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute include oils, watercolors, two tapestries, and some small bronzes.

This failing reaches an embarrassing crescendo in an unattractive scene with the girl's father and her husband tearing each other apart in order to say things Bergman couldn't say for himself...
...handsomely printed new Lutheran journal of theology, he foresees a radical regrouping of Christians, with the cadres of dedicated believers in an open and creative rebellion against the "organization church." Dr. Halvorson, assistant director of the American Lutheran Church's board of college education, reports that "A rising crescendo of questions regarding the vast amount of seemingly aimless activity is coming from the center of the church. Innumerable meetings, immersion in 'churchiness,' the not-a-minute-to-spare crowding of the temple calendar and the pursuit of statistical success have left many of the most active members...
