Powerful Force. For such reasons -plus the fact that it is always ready and available to fight riots, blizzards or floods-the National Guard is a popular and powerful force. Frequent efforts to cut or reform the Guard have been met with outcries of rage from states, communities and guardsmen alike. Says an official of the National Guard Bureau in the Pentagon: "In many communities, the Guard is just like the fire department. Look around and you'll see even the mayor and councilmen in many of these towns are big guns in the Guard. If they aren...
Byproduct of Billy. Christianity Today preaches a kind of literate, highbrow fundamentalism. Strongly conservative in its economic and political views, strongly Biblical in its theology, it is a byproduct of the one-man refurbishing job done on the U.S. Protestant church by Billy Graham, a frequent C.T. contributor, and in fact its cofounder.

Nelson Bell, a Presbyterian layman, asked a number'of church leaders if they felt that Christianity needed a new nondenominational magazine, not-so liberal as the old and prestigious Christian Century (circ. 37,500).

Clitandre's servant Lubin is played by Robin Ramsay quite legitimately as a Harlequin, complete with the customary white-face and diamond-patch costume.

Abol Hassan Ebtehaj, 62, is a brilliant but irascible banker and economic planner whose frequent forceful criticism of Iranian corruption and autocracy outraged Cabinet ministers and even members of the Shah's entourage. With equal bluntness he attacked the U.S. for "spoiling us little children" with massive military aid, accused Washington of doling out economic assistance without sufficient planning. For years, Iranian officialdom tolerated him simply because Ebtehaj was essential to the country's economy. As chief of Iran's Plan Organization from 1954 to 1959, he initiated the country's ambitious land and industrial development...
...month, after the entire top echelon of the Plan Organization resigned because Justice Ministry gumshoes had brought all work to a standstill by asking "thousands of stupid, irrelevant and vexatious questions," Amini promised to take immediate action on Ebtehaj's case. More important, the Shah himself became a frequent visitor to a Teheran bowling alley owned by Mrs. Ebtehaj, promised to help her husband get out of jail...
