...Paint. Beyond racial harangues (including a shrill appearance by Black Manifesto Author James Forman), the more than 500 delegates heard a long, high-pitched debate on the war and the draft. After the assembly decided not to "accept custody" of the draft card of a 20-year-old delegate, Episcopal Priest Dick York of the Berkeley Free Church told the council that it had blood on its hands. York walked along the officers' table, splashing red paint on their papers. Next day, however, delegates voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution defending critics of the Viet...
...Episcopal Church's Special General Convention, the delegates reversed an earlier decision and voted (404 to 222) to provide $200,000 to the moderate National Committee of Black Churchmen. In taking the action, delegates knew that the money was intended eventually to reach the coffers of James Forman's Black Economic Development Conference. The Episcopal Church thus became the first major denomination to recognize-however indirectly-the "reparation" demands enunciated in Forman's Black Manifesto (TIME, May 16). Even this did not quite satisfy the militants. "The action is a political compromise," said the Rev. Frederick...
Black Militant James Forman has been spectacularly unsuccessful in attaining his goal of $3 billion in reparations to be paid to U.S. Negroes by American churches and synagogues. Since Forman first issued his arrogantly worded "Black Manifesto" in Detroit last April, only an estimated $22,000 has trickled into the coffers of his National Black Economic Development Conference. Forman's demands have been successful, however, as a catalyst in moving churches to examine their consciences. Last week another church group demonstrated that the manifesto has not fallen on entirely deaf ears. Meeting in Canterbury, England, the Central Committee...
After pointedly taking issue with the threat of violence posed in the manifesto, the United Presbyterian Church nonetheless invited Forman to speak be fore its General Assembly last May. And in the most generous response yet to Forman's complaint, the Presbyterians authorized a drive to obtain $50 million for general works against poverty...
...American critics have a habit of translating the Czech's frequent portrayal of stolid bureaucracy--intended as neutral moral backgroun to more intimate drama--as veiled protest against socialist rule). Most Czech films share an "unstylish", descriptive approach to reality, attempting to cast social themes in individualized dimensions (Milos Forman, Jiri Menzel). But a few filmmakers have made a radical break with previous Czech film, abandoning descriptive conventions for vivid stylization and a strong strain of philosophical abstraction. Chief among these are the art designer Ester Krumbachova and directors Jan Nemec and Ver Chytilova; Nemec's Report in the Party...
