...future issues, the Behavior staff will be writing about almost everything that falls beneath that broad heading, from hippies' communes to animal studies that shed light on man's actions, from ESP to minorities and prejudice. As the major story in the first section, the editors present Sociologist Erving Goffman and his studies of the rules underlying behavior at the impromptu social events that he calls "gatherings." The story was written by Associate Editor John Koffend and edited by Senior Editor John T. Elson, both of whom this week launch a section that TIME intends...

As Ryder remarked: "What avails a storm cloud accurate in form and color if the storm is not therein?" In this painting...
...objective with regard to their own faith, winnowing the wheat from the chaff without worrying about the chaff. All a priori assumptions must thus be avoided, even so basic an assumption as one that places Christ at the starting point of its theology before examining Christian tradition in the light of other intellectual disciplines. "Theology," insists Berger, "must begin and end with the question of truth...
