Shriver's statement that the term of service for volunteers might, in some cases, be extended from two to three years suggests a practical grasp of possible snags in the near future: it may well be that the two-year term of service will shortly be abandoned altogether in favor of the longer term. Many have raised doubts that volunteers can be adequately trained and used in two years. Especially as the difficulties in languages and cross-cultural communication become more graphic, these doubts may prove prophetic...

They did a good job. They gathered up God's true revelation of Himself as Creator (we might say 'Evolver'), Redeemer (we might say 'Healer'), and Sanctifier (we might say 'Community-Builder') into 'hypostases' or 'personae' in one 'Substance...

"Die to the world and repudiate its madness. Live to God, take hold of Him, and lay aside your old nature...
...Call It Trivial." Where the pundits of the press have long underscored the importance of ideas and idealism in U.S. Government, now they praised Kennedy for his grasp of parochial politics. Glowed Columnist Doris Fleeson: "Kennedy is yielding every minor point to Vice President-elect Johnson and the Rayburri-Mansfield leadership of Congress as the New Frontiers approach. His apparent strategy is to give them enough rope, which is the classic maneuver of power politics. They are being consulted and shown every deference."
