Good night, then; sleep to gather strength for the morning, for the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, the kindly, on all who suffer for the cause, and gloriously upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn...
...American branch in 1940. There are now chapters on 800 U.S. campuses, most of them secular rather than church-related, and within the last four years membership has doubled. Between Christmas and New Year's Day more than 7,000 students gave up part of their vacation to gather on the Champaign-Urbana campus of the University of Illinois for the largest meeting in the fellowship's history, whose threefold theme summed up the students' conservative Christian zeal: "Change Unparalleled, Witness Unashamed, Triumph Unquestioned...
JANUARY--President Johnson ("seeking to gather from all America all that is great," according to Press Secretary George Reedy) prepares an inaugural exactly the same length as the Gettysburg address.

The U.S. and France seem set on a direct collision course that threatens to wreck NATO. The ostensible object of the trouble is the U.S. proposal to create a multilateral nuclear force of 25 Polaris-missile surface ships-although MLF does not even formally appear on the ministerial agenda. In fact, the malaise goes...
