...minutes to do," he admits. At the Governor's mansion he exercises daily in a former spare bedroom that resembles a gymnasium. He lifts a 100-lb. weight over his head as many as 80 times a day, then spends as much as an hour standing between parallel bars. "With the help of a walker I can go 150 steps," he told TIME'S Atlanta bureau chief James Bell. "The doctors tell me I'm in excellent shape now except for the paralysis of the legs." His wife Cornelia, 35, likes to goad him by saying that...

What is needed is an opening up of Christian thought, even to the extent of incorporating the Greek gods. Stories about the Greek deities, after all, parallel many Christian concepts, says Miller, citing as an example the ransom theory of the atonement as an analogue of Zeus' negotiations with Prometheus...

Fake Proverbs. The Chinese are not amused. Charging that the film draws "an unacceptable parallel between socialist China and fascist Germany," they demanded that the French government ban Les Chinois à Paris or suffer the consequences. The movie was no laughing matter to the French government either, which politely explained that it had had nothing to do with the picture. Nonetheless, since China had already canceled a French symphony orchestra tour of China and a Chinese gymnasts' visit to France when the film was being made last August, there were fears that a French industrial exhibition in Peking this...
