Double Bromide. In the La Banza, over-aggressively played on NBC's Kraft Theater (Wed. 9 p.m., E.D.T.), had the opposite fault of Man on Spikes. Its point was crystal clear but simpleminded.

Through no fault of its own, France's younger generation has during the past two centuries been herded behind the demographic eight ball.

Since the mid-18th century, medical progress has contributed to increasing longevity, while wars and depressions have contributed to reducing the birth rate.

Karin Peterson played the flute part well, and Sally Day was wonderful on the harp. They combined impeccable technique with good phrasing and the result was real musicianship...
...erroneous solutions . . . either that the church tries to put itself in the place of the state, or else that the state is simply accepted uncritically in all that it does, as if there were no problem at all ... In both cases the church is guilty of the same fault: relinquishment of the New Testament interpretation of the end-time. Just this interpretation is the association of church and state in a peaceful and fruitful coexistence...
