...Protestants, like Catholics, do sometimes distinguish between the everyday and the heroic. Despite the criticism of his authoritarian personality and his patronizing attitude toward Africans that arose even before his death, Albert Schweitzer is still commonly considered a Protestant saint. So is the Lutheran martyr to the Nazis, Theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Salvation Army Founder William Booth, African Missionary David Livingstone and Methodism's revered founder John Wesley are among many cited as Protestant saints...
...specialized commissions set up by this week's Paris conference will convince most LDC leaders that some of their favorite projects would hurt instead of help them. Indexing, for example, would drive some developing countries even deeper into the hole, for they are net importers of commodities." Dietrich Kebschull, of Hamburg's HWWA Institute of Economic Research, says that manufacturers in the developed countries would add the higher cost of their raw materials to the prices of the finished products. Warns Kebschull: "The commodity price increases, which at first may have been helpful to the less developed countries...
...Marlene Dietrich rejuvenated? No, the net stockings and tux belong to Swiss-born Actress Marthe Keller, 29, whose comedy role in Le Guêpier (The Hornet's Nest) casts her as an entertainer who has Dietrich's looks but none of her talent.

How do her new co-stars compare with the likes of Italy's Marcello Mastroianni and France's Yves Montand"? "It's a question of geography...
Hoping to drum up some interest in her current swing through Australia, Aging Trouper Marlene Dietrich, 73, promised her tour promoter, Cyril Smith, to step out of character and hold her first interview in three years. Trouble was, the singer banned photographers and TV cameramen from the Sydney press conference, and Dietrich's representatives handed out a list of two dozen questions that newsmen should avoid asking. Samples: How many grandchildren do you have? How many films did you make? When did you make The Blue Angel? What do you think about women's lib?* Inevitably, someone broke...
...results of the Rangely experiments led USGS Geophysicists Raleigh and James Dietrich to propose an ingenious scheme. They suggested drilling a row of three deep holes about 500 yds. apart, along a potentially dangerous fault. By pumping water out of the outer holes, they figured they could effectively strengthen the surrounding rock and lock the fault at each of those places. Then they would inject water into the middle hole, increasing fluid pressure in the nearby rocks and weakening them to the point of failure. A minor quake-contained between the locked areas-should result, relieving the dangerous stresses...
