...young enough to work in informal ways-but don't mistake informal for inefficient. We're efficient, in a permissive atmosphere." This is the formula of the chief executive of one of the fastest-growing U.S. advertising agencies, Julian Koenig, 42, president of Manhattan's four-year-old Papert, Koenig, Lois, Inc. A horse player who claims to make money at it, Koenig chooses his ads, and the people to create them, with much the same educated intuition he uses to pick the ponies: "You look, sniff and close your eyes." His shop is approaching $30 million...
...biggest, fastest troop lift ever attempted. For three days and three nights, the endless whine of jet engines and the thunder of a thousand propellers pierced the air at a dozen U.S. airbases from Texas to Virginia as 206 Military Air Transport Service planes hauled 15,278 soldiers to bases in Germany. Normally it would take six weeks to transport a full division overseas, even longer to get it into combat. Big Lift was designed to move a full armored division from the U.S. to Europe in 72 hours, equip it with heavy hardware "prepositioned" at depots near the front...
Adding Souls. Another Disciple worry is membership. The nation's fastest-growing churches are ones that emphasize their doctrinal individuality-including the conservative Churches of Christ (TIME, Feb. 15), which broke with the Disciples around 1900 over a number of ecclesiastical questions, such as whether the Bible authorized instrumental music in worship. But the ecumenical-minded Disciples have lost 50,000 members in the last decade, and outgoing President Dr. Robert W. Burns of Atlanta warned that the flames of a faith built on evangelism seemed to be dying into embers. "Our evangelism has lagged because many...
Harvard's backs did not cover across well. When the ball shoots out of the scrum, it goes through the three-quarter line to the wing, supposedly the fastest player, who tries to beat the opposition down the side of the field. When the opposition prevents this, he passes back to the forwards who then try to get it to the backs. Play does not often get that far, however...
...Thornton has thought about this revolution perhaps more than any other man. "We are experiencing technological change at by far the fastest rate man has ever known," he says. "In the past 20 years we have seen more technological change than in all recorded history. It took 112 years for photography to go from being discovered to a commercial product, 56 years for the telephone, 35 years for radio, 15 years for radar, twelve years for television. But it took only six years for the atom bomb to become an operational reality, and five years for transistors to find their...
