...Karl Weaner, of Defiance, Ohio, boomed out Faith of Our Fathers at the Sunday morning church service. Something new at political conventions. He is a lawyer with twinkly eyes and a few race horses on the side, a man unabashedly moved when Frank Borman read from the book of Genesis just like he had from the moon...
...intended for those athletes for whom sport is merely recreation for personal pleasure. It is an Olympic rule that they must have a vocation entirely separate from their particular sport." The rule is constantly flouted, to say nothing of being selectively and ineptly enforced. Austria's champion skier, Karl Schranz, was barred from last February's Winter Olympics at Sapporo on charges of professionalism, to which dozens of his competitors would -at least in private-plead guilty. The amateur status of most athletes from Communist countries is also in question. Potential champions get superior housing, superior food...
...into the sun or watch in silence the absurd parade of ducks and drakes or the wheeling Frisbees in the sky. Lazing in a field are clusters of young longhairs, some of them students, some wanderers from other nations. They all speak the same language: guitar and hash. Elector Karl Theodor designed this park in 1789. It was not Karl Theodor who inscribed the familiar four-letter Anglo-Saxon words on the sober columns of the Greek temple in the garden...
...years ago Kung's blunt denial of papal infallibility in his book Infallible? An Inquiry caused him to be assailed by Catholic officialdom (TIME, April 5, 1971). Even his longtime mentor, Progressive Jesuit Karl Rahner, regretfully concluded that Küng must henceforth be dealt with as if he were a liberal Protestant.

...weeks ago West German Economics and Finance Minister Karl Schiller resigned over the controls issue. His departure took away one of the last influential voices calling for unhampered capital flows. Schiller's successor, former Defense Minister Helmut Schmidt, apparently believes that without some controls West Germany will be forced to revalue the mark upward for the second time in less than a year, thereby making its products more expensive and harder to sell abroad. French Finance Minister Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, too, favors currency regulations as opposed to floating rates...
