...children as well as father to his own three children. He will inevitably be tugged toward the presidency by the party and his own ambition, away from it by his family. From his receptivity to the draft-Kennedy movement in Chicago in August, it seems clear that Ted would opt for the presidency. There is no question that the oldfashioned, Depression-bred Democratic Party will have to be rebuilt. Robert Kennedy may have had the brains and the toughness to do the job; whether Ted can do it has not yet been proved, and will not be as long...
Victory at Forest Hills last week brought Ashe a wealth of prestige, but Tom Okker took home the first-prize money of $14,000.

...other hand, there is the far greater danger that institutional Christianity, without an extraordinary amount of reform, will end up as a monumental irrelevancy. Faced with a choice between the church in its present form and the underground cell, it is likely that a majority of Christian thinkers would opt for the small, unstructured community as a likely model for the future. Jesus never explicitly said that all men would be converted to believe in his word. Far more meaningful is his image of his followers as the "salt of the earth" and "the light of the world"-similes suggesting...
