EVANGELIST Billy Graham's New York Crusade has been reported in TIME and the rest of the press from the opening hymn to the last bus home. Unreported so far has been the campaign's effect on the huge, complex, impersonal city, where the white Protestants who have made up most of Billy's audiences in the past are a minority group. Trying to gauge that effect, TIME spot-checked Protestant pastors of various denominations throughout the city, looked for other clues, e.g., Bible sales in a dozen bookstores. For the finding, see RELIGION, Crusade...
...make certain that you are getting the best out of this new science for the peaceful uses of mankind, these tests must go on. So you realize when you are making these agreements to stop [the tests] that you are not doing something that may not have an adverse effect, finally, on what we hope to get out of this...
Just what is obscenity? The old test, said Brennan, allowed "material to be judged merely by the effect of an isolated excerpt upon particularly susceptible persons."

...weeks the U.S. Army's drumbeaters were out proclaiming the coming attractions. West Pointer John C. Nickerson Jr., 41, World War II combat soldier (Silver Star, Bronze Star) and postwar missile .specialist, was risking 46 years' imprisonment as he faced Army court-martial charges ranging in effect from laxity through perjury to espionage.

The motivation: Nickerson was making a hero's fight...
...soloist in the first local performance of the revised version of Alan Hovhaness' Concerto No.2 for Violin and String Orchestra, a rather bland neo-modal work. Carl Ruggles' extremely dissonant Angels was written for either string or brass ensemble; the performance here by strings could not equal the extraordinary effect that three trumpets and five trombones can achieve. The concert ended with Daniel Pinkham '44 conducting the combined chorus and orchestra in his new Wedding Cantata. In five movements, this is a wholly ingratiating and captivating work, full of imaginative and nuanced timbres--his finest composing to date...
