...message about Black Power, he is more of a bore than a bombshell after the antics of the five clowns. The entire cast has been with the play since the beginning-including a four-month run in Los Angeles' embattled Watts district. Their three years together have paid off in the fine, comic ensemble playing that all but counteracts the soporific effect of big Buck White and his preachment...
Before flying off to visit troops in Viet Nam, Evangelist Billy Graham paid a call at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for a few words with former President Dwight Eisenhower. As Graham recalls it, Ike had a message for the G.I.s, delivered with tears streaming down his cheeks: "You're going to Viet Nam.

...later came to criticize the organization as "too institutionalist." Such aloofness from trends others thought relevant inevitably won him criticism. Reinhold Niebuhr, once something of a follower, dismissed Barth's politics as naive and his theology as suitable only for catacomb Christianity.

Hutton & Co. turns down would-be clients with...
...devoted to building the world's first and biggest fleet of U-boats and the famous 420-mm. cannon, sentimentally called "Big Bertha" after his wife. Before World War I, Gustav thriftily licensed Britain's Vickers company to make Krupp time fuses, provided that Vickers paid him one shilling threepence per shell fired. In the turmoil of trench warfare, the shell count was forgotten. But after the bloody defeat, Gustav calculated that the British owed him 60 marks for every dead German soldier. He billed Vickers so, but settled for one-sixth as much as he asked...
