...Danger of Compromise. Russia-born Rabbi Mendel, like all Lubavitcher Rebbes, looks upon himself as spiritual "shepherd" of all Jews everywhere-Hasidic or not. He lives modestly with his wife in their $75-a-month flat, devotes his whole time to the Torah, to his flock and to directing missionary work among Jews who have fallen away from the Orthodox faith. As he sees it, the most important injunction for Jews is not to compromise in matters of faith and observance. "Compromise is dangerous because it sickens both the body and the soul . . . One must do everything...
...Orleans zoo and 24 at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge on Texas' Gulf Coast. If the cranes would just stay at safe, secluded Aransas, they might increase-though not very fast, since whooping crane couples go steady for a few years before mating. But every April the flock flies off to breeding grounds near Canada's Great Slave Lake-all except one loner that, for reasons that baffle ornithologists (and possibly other whooping cranes), stayed on at Aransas last year. On the flight north and the return trip to Aransas in the fall, a few whooping cranes...
...spread-eagled the field. Chevies finished one-two-three with a top speed of 118.460 m.p.h., nearly 7 m.p.h. faster than the nearest Ford, which finished fourth. The fastest Plymouth trailed in eighth place. In the 160-mile beach-and-road race for new convertibles Atlanta's Tim Flock set a NASCAR record of 101.32 m.p.h. in a 335-h.p. Mercury...
Part of the answer lies in the new Houses, which will meet part of the demand for cheap housing. But will this mean that all those who want cheap rooms will flock to the new houses, resurrecting the old Gold Coast situation? We hope not. Somehow the University must find a way to spread the savings evenly through the whole House system. Yet this means that students who live in the new Houses will be paying more than their rooms are worth to subsidize the residents of other Houses, which will hardly make the new houses very attractive...
...Some of the best news coming from the U.S. is of the dignified battle being fought by the Rev. Martin Luther King and his flock in Montgomery, Ala. Congratulations! How one must admire the dignity of our colored fellow citizens. How that dignity contrasts with the attitude of the rabble-rousing race haters. The Rev. Mr. King and his people know they are on the winning side, on the side of the future. The others show all the nervousness and pettiness of people who know they are fighting a losing battle. (THE RT. REV.) LEO A. RUDLOFF, O.S.B. Abbot Dormition...
