What the military needs most of all is clear guidance from civilian supervisors?both on Capitol Hill and in the White House???as to its role in the '70s. It has not always been forthcoming. If there is uncertainty about U.S. interests and intentions in Asia or Europe or the Middle East, if there is coasting on old assumptions that may no longer be valid, the military could occupy the vacuum by fashioning its own, probably parochial policy. Ironically, a retreat from its world responsibilities could be as dangerous for American society as an excess of interventionist zeal...
...political power. New York City Democrats have consistently rejected Negro candidates except in districts at least 50% black. Nationwide, the number of Negroes in elective office is increasing, but the pattern of Negro officeholders from Negro constituencies has scarcely changed. In 1966, six Negroes were elected to the House???all from heavily Negro districts. There are 154 Negroes among the nation's 7,600 state legislators, compared with 36 in 1960; all but seven are from predominantly black constituencies. Lucius Amerson became the South's only Negro sheriff, in an Alabama county whose population is 84% colored...

The cell contains a fireplace, a long table with a typewriter, books and a filing cabinet. Here the pale man usually sits, sometimes writing quickly, other times throwing logs into the fire for hours and making long lists of words until he finds the right one. The writer is Jerome David Salinger, and almost all his fictional characters seem more real...
...First Century Christian Fellowship" ("Buchmanism" to a dubious press), The Groups held large house parties in Cape Town. South Africa two years ago and in Oxford last summer. In Manhattan, The Groups influence emanates from Calvary Protestant Episcopal Church. Their activities?personal evangelism, weekly meetings in the parish house???are led by Rev. Ray Foote Purdy, onetime Princeton Y. M. C. A. secretary, and Calvary's Rev. Samuel Moor Shoemaker Jr., who gave a demonstration of "primitive Christian practice" for the bishops of the 50th-triennial Episcopal convention in Denver last autumn (TIME, Sept...
