...South Carolina Baptist Convention voted to allow Charleston's Baptist College to negotiate for $2.5 million in federal loans to construct a library and a dormitory. Virginia's Baptist leaders decided to let the trustees of individual institutions determine whether or not to take Government grants. At Fort Worth, delegates to the Baptist General Convention of Texas voted 2,960 to 40 to cut its official ties with the Baylor University College of Medicine in Houston. The purpose was to let the school-which has Heart Surgeon Michael De-Bakey on its faculty-receive state and federal grants...
Around the Stump. The reason for the delegates' decision at Fort Worth was summarized by Dr. E. S. James, editor emeritus of Texas' Baptist Standard. "The school is too fine an institution to let it die or stand idle while public-supported institutions smother it," he said.

He is about to return to the taxi when he notices a small bell push, hidden in the shadows. He presses; a buzzer signals that the door is unlocked. He steps inside a tiny...
Firemen's Ball and Oratorio for Prague--Two first rate, if lightweight, Czech films which run amuck. In Milos (Loves of a Blonde) Forman's comedy, the dramatic action edges toward the consequential and finally becomes downright grisly, with no let-up in the constant low-key joking. In Jan Nemec's documentary, reality gets out of hand as the appearance of Russian tanks drastically alter what had been intended as a cheerful film about the liberalized Dubcek regime. At the EXETER, Exeter St. between Commonwealth & Newbury...
