...strong enough to expand his guerrilla operations. This week rebels were fighting in four of Cuba's six provinces, and Castro reinforcements were scheduled for Camagiiey and Las Villas provinces. Batista still held the big, fixed positions of power-the cities, the capital, the labor movement, the army-but their strength was ebbing...
...work properly, the accelerometer cylinders must lie at right angles to the earth's radius lines; i.e., their weights must move along tangents to the earth's circumference. Otherwise, gravity, as well as lateral movement, would affect the weights. To hold the accelerometers steady, they are hinged to platforms, stabilized by gyroscopes, which keep an unchanging relationship to the earth (the platform of the north-south instrument, for instance, is always at the same angle to the polar axis). But the accelerometers do not remain immovable. Holding their tangential position, they must slowly tip on their platforms...
Demythologization? In the last half-century, said Dr. Wilhelm Pauck, a Congregationalist and professor of church history at Manhattan's Union Theological Seminary, Christianity has suffered serious blows: 1) in terms of influence, it has become a minority movement in the world, and 2) the faithful have deserted organized churches in droves.

...Africa black nationalism is here to stay, said the Rev. Dunstan K. Nsubuga of Uganda, and since the Christians cannot beat it, they had better join it.

The church should not stay away from the nationalists but try to civilize them-keep them with the West." Mindful of such advice, the convention decided that African Protestants will work out a unified text for Sunday school books, to be printed in 74 African languages. Asians will "stop copying Sunday school textbooks from the West...
...experiences in molding the adult (an area that Jungians formerly had largely ignored because they felt it was a field in which the Freudians had gone too far). Though Archiater Jung refused to commit himself publicly, best evidence was that he favored the more progressive wing, feared that his movement would die if it became too introverted and parochial. Quipped one delegate: "We made real progress-we didn't stick to Jungian terms and talk only about archetypes. I believe someone even mentioned the word penis...
