...effective or dangerous might a move towards increased centralization of the draft system be? The draft system now works on the ethic of decentralization and grass roots control. Hershey's directive showed one path centralized power could take. But officials have also given Hershey much of the credit for progress in the integration of the draft boards...
Unimpressed, the church court ruled that "the path of protest you have followed is not an appropriate testimonial to faith in Jesus Christ nor of love within the family of believers." Under terms of suspension, the Bakers can still attend services at the church, but cannot take Communion or vote at congregational meetings-and they can be excommunicated if they do not repent.

Electrified by Gaby's disclosure, the great powers on earth forget old antagonisms and focus their attention on the distant civilization, hoping to learn from it the secrets of peace and abundance.

Bureaucratic Bog-Down. "It's only going to get worse," predicts Tripp. "As the population increases, people are living closer to danger spots-closer to rivers that flood, the edges of islands on the hurricane path, spreading to places not suitable for building, like the favelas on the mountainsides of Rio de Janeiro." Because of Latin America's predilection for disaster, Tripp has stockpiled supplies in Panama for quick transit to the area. "We try to act within the first 24 to 72 hours," he says, realizing that the major diplomatic impact-not to mention the humanitarian aspects...
