...action is on such a grand scale as to be visually intelligible from only the briefest of briefings of its plot; though the three audiences, open rehearsal and two formal performances, were aided by libretti, Professor W.W. Goodwin's translation into English prose, the Greek text on opposite page. Many of the audience were repeaters, saw all three representations, and were finally able to follow the speeches almost line by line. Your reviewer had an unfair advantage--the great good luck to have studied the text in Sidgwick's edition under the instruction of Professor Herbert Weir Smyth...
...Christmas. The Churches of Christ may well be the most Biblebound of all American religious groups. "Where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent," says Hollywood Minister Harris Goodwin. The churches accept only the authority of Scripture -but they leave each member free to interpret Scripture as he chooses. Their five "avenues of worship" are singing (but always a cappella: the Bible does not authorize instruments), praying, communion (taken every Sunday), preaching and giving...
...eagle-eyed young scout on the New Frontier, Richard Nathan Goodwin could see only bright horizons.

The President had some doubts: "Goodwin, if this doesn't work, you can just keep on going south." But the trip was a triumph...

But he soon found that other New Frontiersmen had studied their guerrilla manuals. Woodward's successor, Edwin Martin, demanded and got a clear line of authority from the White House and Secretary of State Dean Rusk. With that, Martin began bypassing Goodwin on key decisions...
...Goodwin's position became untenable. But the President's brother-in-law, Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver, rescued him. He first "borrowed" Goodwin to plan a 43-nation conference on Peace Corps manpower problems. After the conference, Goodwin lingered at the Peace Corps. Finally, his nameplate was removed from his State Department office. His new, "permanent" Peace Corps post: Director of the International Secretariat for Peace Corps Development-a lofty title for the fuzzy job of trying to get other nations to create their own Peace Corps...
