Similar programs in other cities have been equally adept in educating on a shoestring basis. Last year, Chicago's Christian Action Ministry, a coalition of local churches, set up its own academy in a .onetime bank on the city's West Side. Granting dropouts freedom to work at their own pace, smoke in class, or enter the educational project even after a pregnancy or a hitch in jail, the C.A.M. Academy has chalked up a better college admittance record than that of Chicago's public high schools. Of the 30 dropouts who were graduated at C.A.M. this...
Strength by Contact. Tactile liturgy is taking hold in several other areas of the U.S. Boston's Arlington Street Unitarian Church held a service this spring in which members of a local theater workshop, eyes closed and feigning blindness, moved through the pews to be helped along by parishioners' hands. A seminarian at the Chicago Theological Seminary, Kent Schneider, recently designed a service for his own wedding that turned into a chain of personal contact.

So when 1,000 white-collar pickets gathered outside the Met offices, they were joined out of sympathy by 700 burly dock workers. The sales men and longshoremen marched through the streets chanting the peace demonstrators' slogan, "Hell no, we won't go." In this case...
...seaside village on a remote stretch of Canada's Gaspé Peninsula. Almond uses his color camera as a landscape painter might, pausing now to frame a snow-banked brook and barnyard, now a pile of upturned boat hulls rotting in the winter sun. The country store, the local garage with the inevitable Coca-Cola sign and the railroad tracks piercing through the barren hills like a steel spine flash by in a blur of fast cuts. And always there is the distant, forlorn sound of cowbell and gull cry, wind and heaving...
