GENERAL PUBLIC INTEREST in the race coupled with President Ford's visit should ensure a large turnout at the polls. Essentially then, one of two things could happen with the undecided vote. A large number could opt for Carmen C. Chimento, the Independent Party candidate, in a protest vote, thus detracting from Wyman's total, and giving Durkin the victory. Chimento, who last week refused to welcome Ford, charging that the President is "a dupe of the Russian slavemasters," is trying to succeed where others have failed with his third party campaign. John Schmitz faired very badly in New Hampshire...
...what sort of liberation? The question was put poignantly by a U.S. nun who asked in one group discussion, "Do we have to opt for revolution?" The theologians' answer is yes-although they hasten to add that revolution covers a broad range of options, not all of them violent.

The Gnostics were imaginative religious scavengers who borrowed freely from various sources to furnish their own scriptures. But they evidently felt a particular need to co-opt and corrupt elements of their rival, Christianity. Typically, two of the best-known tracts from the Nag Hammadi library, the previously published Gospel of Thomas and Gospel of Philip, contain sayings of Jesus purportedly collected by two of his Apostles but often twisted by the Gnostics to fit their...
...deduct child-care expenses has enabled more housewives to take on a moderate workload, hobbies and other activities. Those who do volunteer work in social agencies find that there is a strong push to urge industry to consider voluntarism as "experience" on job applications-should the housewife some day opt to work...
