...Washington, Administration officials spoke in tones of unmistakable concern. At a press conference in the State Department's second-floor auditorium, a sober Secretary of State told newsmen that the situation was "very, very serious." Next night, before the Federal Council of Churches in the echoing Gothic nave of Washington's great unfinished cathedral, the Secretary repeated his warnings...
Most of the rabbis of these Reform congregations have been trained at Hebrew Union College, which Dr. Wise started in Cincinnati in 1875. Last week, on the Tudor Gothic campus of Hebrew Union, 1,000 leaders of Reform Judaism met to celebrate the inauguration of the college's fourth president, Rabbi Nelson Glueck, 47.

...first Police Day speaker had barely begun when an unexpected incident occurred. From the gauntly Gothic cathedral, past the huge monument of John Huss at the stake, rolled organ music. Policemen soon silenced the inappropriate sound, and the celebration continued. But throughout the world, people with an ear for the rhythm of history knew that what happened in Prague last week had happened before and would, quite possibly, be repeated in capital after capital...
