...peace-keeping forces in the Sinai and the observers on the Golan Heights, and last week Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim began summoning Council members to discuss how the mandate could be kept alive. Practically speaking, however, the U.N. troops could not remain in place if one side demanded their ouster. If they were forced out by Egypt, the situation could be ominous-and there is a disturbing precedent. In May 1967, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser demanded a similar pullout of U.N. forces for their own safety in the face of "Israeli aggression" and Egyptian defensive moves. The late Secretary...
...major academic arm, Concordia Seminary of St. Louis. These teachers, who in the ensuing debate styled themselves moderates, take a less rigid view of the Bible, accepting modern interpretation that explains the story of Adam and Eve, for instance, less as history than myth. In 1974 Preus won the ouster of the seminary's president, the Rev. John H. Tietjen, on charges of fostering "false doctrine." Supporting Tietjen, the majority of Concordia's faculty and students walked out, starting a rival seminary in exile (Seminex), also in St. Louis...

...five judges will now have to decide whether Wendt is guilty. If convicted, he could face ouster from the ministry. His fate is in the hands of Bishop Creighton, who is more likely to issue a reprimand at most, since he did not favor the firing of charges in the first place. Actually, Creighton is so sympathetic to the women's cause that he is practicing discrimination in reverse. Last month he announced that he would henceforth refuse to ordain all males in his diocese until the Episcopal Church opened the priesthood to women...
...strategy for a political victory would be to strangle Saigon by cutting off its Delta food supply and capturing the key cities and ports (such as Xuan Loc, Bien Hoa and Vung Tau) surrounding it. That might easily create enough discontent inside the capital to force Thieu's ouster or resignation. A new government might be ready to negotiate with the Communists and give them some sort of governing role. French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing has indicated that his country is prepared to use its "good offices" to help in the evolution of a political solution...
