Beginning Feb. 1, Abel will preside over a faculty embittered by more than a year's debate over a successor to Edward Barrett, the former dean. Barrett resigned after the turbulent student disorders of 1968, protesting "authoritarian rule by remote, inaccessible powers" at the university. He left behind a faculty factioned between traditional and innovative journalism. When a largely conservative search committee proposed Abel for the deanship last June, rebellious professors overwhelmingly voted it down, citing "lack of consultation" and "undue haste in appointing a man we know little about." But Columbia President Andrew Cordier, prodded by the traditionalists...
...future, or that of stabilizer reaffirming the past. On the other hand, Dr. Dale Moody, a Baptist theologian currently teaching at Rome's Pontifical Gregorian University, believes that the church is being deliberately dinned out of its complacency: "God is giving the church a good shaking today. With his left hand he disturbs her slumber with the noise of social revolution, and with his right hand he rings the bell calling for relevance to such pressing social problems as race, poverty and war.

But no scriptural source deals adequately with such practical matters as what angels wore, what they really looked like, what sex, if any, they possessed. Man was left to imagine these details according to need and fashion...
Making Breaks. He is just the man to do the shoring. When he left his post as general manager of the Packers to accept the Redskins' offer (of about 5% of the stock), the first thing Lombardi did was to lure Sam Huff out of retirement. A four-time All-Pro middle linebacker, Huff came back simply because "Lombardi is my kind of guy." Sam proved as rugged and mobile as ever. In the first game against Philadelphia, he came from nowhere to pick off a Norm Snead pass and lumber 18 yds. for a touchdown...
