...recently. Gallico was one of many readers who have been moved to correspond with TIME, for we make it a practice to answer every letter-whether it is written to praise or criticize, to point out an error or to offer information. The great volume of letters to the editor-55,000 last year-is handled by a staff of eight letter correspondents headed by Maria Luisa Cisneros...

Father Clifford Stevens, executive editor of The Priest magazine and former Catholic chaplain at California's Edwards Air Force Base, suggests that "theological think tanks" ought to be established to help theologians cope with the spiritual and moral problems of space. He has even consulted the Rand Corporation about the possibility of setting up a "theology fellowship." The theological think tank, as Father Stevens envisions it, would enable a theologian "to carry on dialogue with the scientists. He would take the problems of aerospace and other sciences and try to evaluate them in the light of the theological vision...
