...Unmistakable Message. The doves found one bright spot among the disarray. Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield's amendment calling for complete troop withdrawal within six months after an agreement to release American P.O.W.s passed for the second time this year. The original amendment, tied to the draft-extension bill, was watered down in the House-Senate Conference Committee; a similar fate could await the second amendment. Although the amendment is not binding on President Nixon, its passage carries an unmistakable message to the White House: despite the week's defeats, the doves are still capable of mustering Senate...
AIRLINES High-Level Mess While the world monetary system continues to rattle and shake, another citadel of international agreement is falling further into disarray.

The vacuum in leadership and logistical planning opened...

Theologian Martin Marty of the University of Chicago Divinity School feels that the Jesus People, frustrated by a complex society that will not yield to their single-minded devotion, may well disband in disarray. But even Marty says: "Five years from now you may have some better Presbyterians because of their participation in the Jesus movement." And the Rev. Robert Terwilliger of New York City's Trinity Institute says longingly: "There is a revival of religion everywhere?except in the church...
