...print the results of a recent Gallup poll on whether Dulles is right to keep U.S. troops in Kremlin-menaced Berlin [Dec. 29]. The most interesting result is not that 60% of those polled agree with Mr. Dulles but that almost one-fourth are not familiar with the problem that might bring on World War III.

During an average 1958 week, more than 50 million U.S. adults went to church-nearly a million more than at the previous peak in 1955.
