Thus runs the evangelical message of Jacques André Istel, 28, a black-browed ex-Wall Streeter and dedicated prophet of parachuting in the U.S. His gospel: jumping, without emergency, out of an airplane can be a safe, exhilarating sport, not a devil-daring performance for iron-nerved musclemen. Europe has been convinced since World War II, and there thousands of men and women of all ages happily spend their weekends halfway between plane and earth. It is time for the sport to flourish in the U.S., says Istel. "There's no more to parachute jumping, done right, than...
...about safety regulations for parachuting for fun, similar to those in Europe, where jumping instruction is as rigidly controlled as the classics course in a French lycée. At this stage, Istel fears, a major accident would probably give the sport back to the country-fair stuntmen. His gospel spread to another important corner. Istel hustled back to his exurbanite home in New York's upper Westchester County to practice what he preaches. This week Istel will lead an American team of four parachutists to Yugoslavia to compete in an invitational meet against some of the world...
...shown good taste, too. He has done most of the cutting in the central triptych, where Shaw's writing was weakest and most forced. The two acts of Part I ("In the Beginning") remain virtually intact, and these are really great writing and great theatre. In Part II ("Gospel of the Brothers Barnabas"), Moss has strung several comments by one man together into a short address; with the house lights half up, Professor Barnabas speaks to the audience as though addressing one of his biology classes--an effective solution indeed. For Part III ("The Thing Happens") Moss drew largely...
...heartily agree with Letter Writer Jesse H. Harvey [June 17] concerning the tragic mental deteriorations generated by Billy Graham's misrepresentation of the nature of God as an "eye" of stern judgment. Why must so-called "evangelism" always be thus divorced from the Gospel of Christ, which clearly and consistently manifests the true character of God as love? By His own acknowledgment, Christ came not to judge the world, but to save the world. Billy Graham and his ilk purportedly lead to Christ's saving thousands of human "souls," but let us pray that Christ (love) will eventually...
...best ways for the U.S. to spread the gospel of free enterprise-and for businessmen to sell its products-is to stage exhibits at foreign trade fairs. In the three years since the Government started to underwrite official exhibits at these shows, the U.S. has rung up priceless good will by unveiling the wares that symbolize its way of life to 40 million fair visitors in 27 countries. The 3,000 U.S. companies that contributed their goods also signed up millions of dollars in sales. Over the last fortnight, at Poland's Poznan Fair, the first U.S. trade exhibit...
