...cram the kiddies full of "Little Old New York" (1750-1850 style), San Francisco at the time of the Barbary Coast (with earthquake), Florida bayous (with alligators), Mississippi stern-wheelers, New England whalers, and a Civil War battle (with neither side winning and no one offended). "Cape Canaveral" will even boast a man-carrying space ship. Said Manhattan's Board of Education President Charles Silver in splendid non sequitur, as the bulldozers prepared to break ground last week: "I have a feeling that history teachers all over the country will be grateful...
Blossoming Relations. Even so. Protestant leaders are confident that Orthodoxy is warming up to the World Council. And the climate of Rhodes gave hope for even better relations. The two Russian observers-round-faced, balding Viktor S. Alexeev, 33, a layman on the staff of the Moscow patriarchate's foreign affairs department, and dark, beaky Archpriest Vitaly M.

The message of Christ is 'Are you able to endure all things as I endure them-even crucifixion?'"' If hymns must be sung, Wiant would prefer such Reformation hymns as A Mighty Fortress Is Our God and 0 God, Our Help in Ages Past...
...Even with time payments, there seems little likelihood that many Russians will be able to get much on the cuff. The fact is that most luxury items are still in short supply. Last week a precedent-breaking deal to export Moskvich and Volga autos to West Germany fell through because Russia could not guarantee delivery of 2,500 cars. The severest trial for the Soviet worker who wants a camera or a motorcycle is not financing the inflated price, but waiting while his name slowly drifts to the head of a long waiting list...
