...England, and man's relationship to God has refined and mellowed. Thus, climaxing a process of revision and trial use that has been under way since 1949, the U.S. Episcopal Church this week is releasing the first 50,000 copies of its Standing Liturgical Commission's proposed draft for a new Prayer Book. The 1,001-page volume will be presented in September to the church's 1976 General Convention. If it is then authorized to replace the 1928 Prayer Book-a modest revision of the 1662 book that is currently in official American...
...Middle East debate at the United Nations Security Council last week, because the Palestine Liberation Organization was taking part. At week's end Council members were still debating the precise wording of an Arab-sponsored resolution affirming the Palestinians' "inalienable national right" to a homeland. Although the draft resolution also advocated security guarantees for all states in the area-a tacit acknowledgement of Israel's right to exist-the U.S. was expected to veto the resolution when it comes to a vote early this week...
...week's end differences between the moderate Egyptians and the more radical Syrians were still preventing the Arab bloc countries from working out a draft resolution that was expected to call for acceptance of "the national rights" of Palestinians and a timetable for Israeli withdrawal from all territory occupied since the 1967 war.

Reason: they held a relatively large volume of questionable loans in relation to the capital they had on hand to cushion potential losses. That merited a closer-than-normal watch over their operations by regulators...
Kevin Cash provides a rambling account of Loeb's life, showing him as a Long Island socialite, a 1930s left-winger--he was a co-chairman of the Communist-dominated Committee to Boycott Aggressor Nations--an unsubtle adulterer, and a World War II draft evader. Placing particular emphasis on various peculiarities in Loeb's personal life--he was disowned and sued by his mother, he later disowned his own daughter, and he seems to have had Jewish ties despite his apparent anti-Semitism--Cash presents a portrait of a paranoid and unscrupulous gun-toting publisher. Loeb's well-known alliance...
