...most of Billy's audiences in the past are a minority group. Trying to gauge that effect, TIME spot-checked Protestant pastors of various denominations throughout the city, looked for other clues, e.g., Bible sales in a dozen bookstores. For the finding, see RELIGION, Crusade's Impact...
...finds them, and praying with them. Slightly more than halfway through his New York crusade, six-footer Graham is twelve pounds lighter (172 Ibs.) than before he started out, and his world is some 23.000 souls brighter-the number who have made "decisions for Christ." But what impact has he really made on what he called "the most sinful city in the world...
...Supreme Court decisions: some reckoned that of 89 Communists convicted under the Smith Act, at least 40 will probably be able to get new trials-or outright acquittals from the Supreme Court.

If anyone doubted before, last week made it clear that the Supreme Court under Earl Warren was building a new wing...

Ingeniously the Air Force ordered fire engines to spray a runway of Pope Air Force Base with slick, heavy foam. Just before the null wheels touched down, one of the crewmen cut Flugum loose. He shot along the runway back down, protected by his parachute pack, in a smooth, 100-ft. glide. Thanks to the split-second ingenuity, he was unbruised by the landing. But despite...
