Some day the committee hopes to get hold of the I.U.O.E.'s longtime big boss, International President William E. Maloney, who claims that he is too ill to testify.

...Soviet citizens, Mark and Natasha Frazer live extremely well. Their five-room apartment in a new building in the center of Moscow has a TV set, an upright piano and a big black dog named Doll.

The kind of retreat she was talking about-a program full of organized "activities"-would not have been recognizable to most U.S. Christians of a generation ago. But her Glenview Community Church, and the faith it fosters, is symptomatic of a kind of Protestantism that is burgeoning in the suburban nondenominational churches all over the U.S. The International Council of Community Churches now has 217 members, estimates that there are at least more than 1,500 other...
Summing up, the President says: "The times, then, seem to me to call not for a violent new national effort in a single direction (which in any event we are ill-prepared to take) but rather for a more consistent, steady, concern for the whole of education...
