...Kneel & Pray. But early in its short career, TT4 was already obsolescent. New airborne radars began to make its lonely vigil superfluous. Then, in 1958, Hurricane Daisy caused serious underwater damage. TT4 was evacuated and repaired at a cost of $500,000. Last September Hurricane Donna slammed at the tower again. There was more underwater damage, and once more the crew was evacuated. Only a housekeeping crew of 14 airmen was left aboard. Later 14 civilian repairmen reported for work...
...youngest president of the Southern Baptist Convention when he was elected in 1951 and 1952. He is a member of the executive committee of the Baptist World Alliance, vetoes dancing but smokes cigars.

An unarmed patrol of British soldiers ran straight into an ambush laid by Reynold and his Brooklyn buddies, surrendered after the first burst of machine-gun fire. The Ras Tafarians then ordered the tommies to kneel, shot at them from short range. Two were killed, the other two wounded. The guerrillas commandeered a truck and headed deeper into the hills...
...deep-think session in a hot tub followed by ten hours at a hot desk. Nothing, apparently, can silence his own snare drums of opinion, or keep him from lapsing into double negatives when excited. Sample, on religion: "I think there is no religious revival at all. Fra Angelico kneeled to the Madonna because he was going to paint her, and she was his God. We don't kneel down to nothing any more, not even to a cash register...
