Church policy, issued after a 1974 synod, has dropped old racist theology in favor of nominal support for racial equality, but holds that South Africa's system of apartheid is morally acceptable. "The New Testament does not regard the diversity of peoples as such as something sinful," the policy statement says, and the teaching in Galatians 3: 28 that "there is neither Jew nor Greek" in Christ relates to overall spiritual unity, not "social integration...
Last March, the federal council bowed to nonwhite wishes and proposed that the four churches, establish a joint governing body with far-reaching power over doctrine, discipline and issues of "general concern."

From now on, they asserted, tax laws will be "economically oriented" packages of cuts designed to relieve the ravages of inflation and spur job-creating investment...
...about herself. One is never sure if her virginity was lost or simply faded slowly like the Cheshire cat. Still, the lady knows how to settle a score. On being romanced and jilted by Frank Sinatra after Bogart's death in 1957: "Actually, Frank did me a great favor-he saved me from the disaster our marriage would have been. The truth is he was probably smarter than I: he knew it couldn't work. But the truth also is that he behaved like a complete shit." When she writes about the end of her marriage to Jason...
