...message to the 9,462 congregations of the new denomination, attacked what it called "the contemporary myth of the free world." The U.S., it declared, "counts among its allies some nations which are in no sense free. By our actions we proclaim to the world that lands where human freedom is utterly dead can qualify for membership in the free world simply by supplying military bases 01 strategic commodities...
Face to Face. The resolution made no direct reference to a summit meeting with Russia, but the implication was clear in the words: There can be "no substitute for personal encounter in the pursuit of human understanding . . . When men who profess the Christian religion make no adequate provision for a face-to-face encounter with their enemies, they betray the religion which they profess...
...board of directors of Union Theological Seminary. "Out in Tennessee there is a plant which turns out bombs," he said. "Here is a plant which turns out ministers of the Gospel. The two seem remote and unrelated. Actually, the issue of our time-perhaps the issue of all our human time-is which of the two outputs will prevail." Then Secretary Dulles, whose son Avery was ordained a Jesuit priest two years ago, watched 179 seminarians get their degrees. One of them: his daughter, Mrs. Lillias Hinshaw, 43, wife of Manhattan Public Relations Man Robert Hinshaw (a Quaker) and mother...
...dozens of military and civilian laboratories across the U.S., researchers are working under pressure to perfect ways of keeping a human being alive and functioning efficiently when he soars into the void of space (TIME, May 26). None of their problems is as will-o'-the-wispy as weightlessness, the gravity-free state that will envelop man when he orbits around the earth or reaches for the moon and planets. Reason: in the earth's atmosphere and gravity belt, this unearthly state can be created only for a fraction of a minute at a time. To learn...
...could figure, we had floated virtually weightless for seven minutes and in true zero gravity for five. From our two-man, 2½-hour survey, we could obviously not make even tentative assumptions about possibly grave long-term effects (over days, weeks or months) of weightlessness on the human circulatory and respiratory systems. But these suggestions emerged: a weightless man in space need not be witless if he has had time to recover from the probable dulling effect of massive g forces during blastoff; his reasoning powers should be unimpaired; he need be in little danger of injuring himself from...
