Most Christian ministers would scarcely put it that way but, in general, churchly condemnation of gambling seems to be softening. While the Methodists' latest "Disciplines" states that gambling accentuates the desire "to acquire wealth without honest labor [and] encourages a primitive, fatalistic faith in chance," California's Bishop Gerald Kennedy says of his fellow ministers: "The boys today don't particularly make an issue of it." As for the Catholic Church, it has always held that gambling itself is neutral, that it becomes evil only when it involves excess, damage to one's family or connection...
First Confrontation. Last week's riots began on a more ominous note than the first round of riots in May, which grew out of local labor disputes. The bell for Round 2 sounded at the border between Hong Kong and its overpowering neighbor, Communist China. Across the white demarcation line that splits the main street of the small fishing village of Shataukok into Chinese and British halves stormed 300 or more Communist demonstrators. Chanting Mao slogans and waving copies of the Little Red Book of his sayings, they began pelting the local police station with stones...

Truly international in outlook, the Economist has favored Britain's joining the Common Market and has stoutly backed the U.S. presence in Viet...
There were smiles and handshakes all around before Reuther got down to business. Taking more than three hours to make his case at General Motors, and almost as long at Ford and Chrysler, the U.A.W. president outlined the most ambitious list of labor demands Detroit has ever seen. With contracts due to expire Sept. 6, the auto industry faces arduous bargaining that could set the pattern for upcoming labor negotiations across the U.S. The fact that Detroit is girding for the worst -local banks report stepped-up savings deposits by strike-wary workers-suggests what the pattern...
