...task has engaged virtually every section of the magazine. TIME'S Jan. 24 issue contained a 20-page special section, "To Heal a Nation," describing the priorities open to President Nixon on his Inauguration. The Viet Nam war-the bloody fighting, the futile peace talks in Paris, the mounting crescendo of protest at home-have occupied the NATION and WORLD sections. Other areas of protest led to NATION cover stories on the debate over the ABM and, indeed, the entire U.S. military-industrial complex, and told of the new militancy among Mexican-Americans led by Cesar Chavez...
...Ussuri River clashes earlier this year, tensions relax quickly. Moscow withdraws many of the thousands of men who guard Central Asia and the Soviet Far East. The Chinese start to redeploy forces dug in along the frontier, moving them into political and civic action work inside China to help heal the wounds caused by Chairman Mao Tse-tung's Cultural Revolution.

Aside from Mao's materialization at Tienanmen (the Gate of Heavenly Peace), what most intrigued China experts was the evidence, coming from both Peking and Moscow, that a fresh effort to heal the Sino-Soviet rift might be under way.

It is to the shame of the Christian church that we have been so slow to face the demands of the Gospel in the racial revolution. What kind of Gospel are we preaching when a church sends missionaries to convert Africans, but suggests to the Afro-American that...
...unlike land in temperate climates, does not easily recover from man-made disruptions. Because of the cold, orange peels do not decay for months. Twenty-five-year-old bulldozer tracks are still plainly visible on the tundra today, testimony to the slowness of the land's ability to heal itself. But the basic problem is that most of the Arctic lies on a hard foundation of permafrost-ever-frozen ground that prevents drainage. In the brief summer months, a thin cover of tundra soil thaws a foot deep. But if the ground is gouged by heavy equipment, the permafrost...
