...Europe. It is a place set apart, a magical place, the only one where the past is encountered. When I returned to Paris, I ... was appalled by the dirt of ages that overlaid everything . . . We cannot escape the dead hand of the past. We inhabit a collection of open-air museums which are the antechambers to the museums themselves, and we enter without changing our climate...
Sauntering across Korea, preceded and pursued by wolf cries from U.S. troops, Cinemactress Marilyn Monroe appeared on open-air stages in a skin-tight purple cocktail dress.

When he was elected president of the British Methodist Church last July, he called, in his acceptance speech, upon his fellow Methodists for "greater adventure in open-air evangelism . . . lively, informed, joyous . . . work and worship." He continued the lunch-hour meetings at Tower Hill, where he has been preaching his vigorous version of socialist-pacifist Christianity for the past 26 years, and did his best to follow founder John Wesley's example of making all England his parish...
