...faster than the Italian mails. Take E.

Some airmail Christmas cards from New York arrived at Easter time, and letters wending their way from one Italian city to another sometimes take a leisurely six months...
Tule Lake as the wartime internees knew it is gone. Only vestiges survive.

An equally important sign of church malaise is the declining interest in church work. Only 373 men entered the ministry in 1973, compared with 636 ten years before...
