This merger finally unites the three elements with which the ecumenical movement began. At a historic meeting in 1910 of the World Missionary Conference at Edinburgh, elements of Protestant, Anglican and Orthodox Christianity began to meet and work in parallel. One stream, known as "Life and Work" and concerned with the social aspects of the churches, met in Geneva in 1920, in Stockholm in 1925, and at Oxford in 1937. The second, known as "Faith and Order" and dealing with theology and liturgy, met in Geneva in 1920, in Lausanne in 1927, and Edinburgh in 1937. The two streams flowed...
While the West's eyes were focused on Walter Ulbricht's ugly Berlin wall, a greater, equally ugly wall was being built -almost unnoticed by the world-along the entire East-West German frontier. It consists of two parallel concrete and barbed-wire fences, with land mines seeded in between. When it is finished, it will run from the Baltic coastal resort of Travemunde to the Czech border, turning all of East Germany into a giant concentration camp. Last week TIME Correspondent William Rademaekers toured the 834-mile border. His report...
...point where the double rows of barbed wire run parallel to the West German Autobahn, the East Germans have built a huge billboard on their side of the line, on which is drawn a likeness of the great German writer and the slogan: "Anti-bolshevism is the underlying madness of the 20th century. - Thomas Mann...
After exhaustive studies of both tunnel and bridge schemes, the group flatly favored a tunnel to be bored or dredged out of the chalk Channel bed. Plans for the bored tunnel actually call for two large parallel tunnels, each containing a single railway track, plus a small service tunnel. Stretching from Folkestone to Calais, the tunnels would run underwater for 23 miles. Autos and trucks would drive onto flatcars, be whisked through the tunnels at 60 m.p.h. by electric locomotives. Passenger and freight trains would be routed directly through the tunnels, cutting the train time from London to Paris from...
...core concept, however, was necessary if Harvard's program was to be consistent with the underlying philosophy of the report. The Committee saw a need for "general education," then a newly coined phrase, to counter a growing sociological fragmentation, parallel to the academic fragmentation imposed by the demands of departmental specialization. The overall rationale of the core concept was to offset specialization not only in the academic context, but, if backed by programs in enough educational institutions, in the sociological framework as well. It was to do this by acquainting the members of the report's "Free Society" with their...
