...result is a constant jostling for space among our editors, and the competition keeps our news stories lean: there is always more to tell than we have room for. This week we add a new section, and because we can no longer do so at the expense of existing sections, we are adding two news pages. For a long time we have been reporting more and more business news from abroad, as a prosperous Europe changes its tastes, markets and circumstances, and as new economic opportunities-and dangers-lurk or loom in Asia, Africa, Australia, Latin America...
...sixth of Hong Kong's 3,250,000 people occupy squatter towns like Diamond Hill, made up of cardboard-walled cubicles and straw-mat lean-tos. More than 80,000 others find homes in tar-paper shacks on tenement rooftops. Some 362,000 refugees have already been housed in the colony's impressive resettlement projects, and construction over the next five years will care for 100,000 more annually. Even the unemployed Chinese refugees in Hong Kong need not starve: there are 86 private and public social service agencies...

His first call, in 1957, was to the First Presbyterian Church of Portsmouth, Va., a rundown, impoverished church with a congregation of 500. Merriam doubled the church's property, added 100 parishioners to the congregation, put on an impressive range of new youth activities-and began to create a reputation for unorthodoxy. Although...
Technique & Feeling. Stravinsky's new cantata. A Sermon, A Narrative and A Prayer, was a far more impressive achieve ment. Only 15 minutes long, it was scored for alto, tenor, speaker, chorus and full orchestra. Yet it had so lean a texture that virtually every detail was visible - as if a chamber group were playing. The piece was remarkable not only for its intensity and melodic freedom but for the intricacy and beauty of the vocal writing, particularly in the moving duet of alto and tenor in the Prayer, and in the Narrative about the stoning of St. Stephen...
