...militant as the resolutions. After the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Michael Ramsey, told the delegates that "there was no room for discrimination" in the house of God, the Rev. Channing Phillips, a black United Church of Christ minister from Washington, snapped: "The same old platitudinous drivel." Explaining her own dismay with such pat pleas for racial justice, a delegate from Ceylon said: "We have had enough of singing as the missionaries taught us to sing, 'Red and yellow, black and white,/All are equal in Thy sight.'

...printers when the year is only two-thirds done. Spring 1969 was a particularly unfortunate Spring to miss, and Three Thirty Three has rallied with a sixteen-page supplement on the occupation, bust, and strike.

...delay" if Frenchmen reject his proposals in the April 27 national referendum, the polls showed an apathetic and uncertain electorate: 52% undecided or determined to abstain and the rest almost evenly divided. Last week the first poll taken after the general's ultimatum turned up results that would dismay a lesser man. A full 40% of the voters had not yet made up their minds, and the rest were still divided. Only 52% intended to vote oui for De Gaulle's program-and therefore for De Gaulle himself...
