...days last week when official church celebrations got under way in those two cities. Trains to Czestochowa will be sporadic at best; many roads will be "under repair." The government has launched a massive propaganda campaign to discredit the church, calling Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, its tough, outspoken leader, a neo-fascist and a friend of Germany. Posters showing Nazi war crimes in Poland are going up everywhere, sarcastically captioned: "Grant and beg forgiveness"-a quote from the letter sent by Polish prelates last fall inviting German bishops to Czestochowa in a gesture of reconciliation. As an added touch, the government...
...theologian who proselytized for the early 20th century Protestant movement against the attenuating liberalism of the day, and argued for a return to a systematic theology that accepted the Bible as the only source of divine revelation; following a stroke; in Zurich. The articulate Brunner carried the dogma of neo-orthodoxy to Protestant seminaries around the world, was often compared to his fellow countryman Karl Earth, who espoused the same biblicism, but the two sometimes disagreed on the application of Christian principles to life...
...School to ride the crest of each successive wave of American Protestant thought. First, as a citadel of liberalism, it warred on fundamentalism. Then it pioneered in historical criticism of the Bible, developed professional standards for Sunday-school teachers.

Azikiwe maintains that the unrest in Ghana leading to Nkrumah's downfall was caused by an international capitalist 'cocoa conspiracy" which depressed the price of cocoa, Ghana's staple crop. Apparently the increased production of cocoa in Nigeria and the Ivory Coast had little to do with the falling price. Azikiwe is justified in condemning...
...heat of the debate on Viet Nam comes as something of a surprise to his readers. He has a tendency to write slightly off the news-analyzing one part of the world when the fire is burning in another. Viet Nam he hits headon. In answer to the neo-isolationism of a Walter Lippman, who argues that the U.S. is over-extended abroad, Sulzberger denies that the U.S. sphere of interest is geographically limited. "Greece and Iran," he wrote, "where U.S. determination forced Communist retreats in Stalin's day, were far from American shores-as were Korea, Lebanon, Laos...
