White Limestone. At long last, Nazareth can offer good reason for a longer stay. Rising over the grotto is the new Basilica of the Incarnation and Church of the Annunciation, a double-decked, $2,000,000 building of dressed white Nazareth limestone that took 15 years to plan and build. Paid for by worldwide donations and built under the supervision of the Franciscan fathers, the new basilica is the largest Christian house of worship in the Middle East (capacity 3,000). Reflecting the long history of the sacred site, its lower church incorporates pillars, walls and an altar from several...
...enforced control over programming will inexorably expand until it eventually envelops and deadens the most remote corners of the communications industry. Yet at its annual convention in Washington, D.C., last week, the National Association of Broadcasters-which includes station owners and networks-took a tentative step toward adopting a plan for the industry's first version of formal censorship...
...network executives, has concerned itself with little more than after-the-fact monitoring of occasional programs and commercials. Television can only be cleaned up, Pastore said, if the N.A.B. agrees to give the Code Authority real power-specifically to prescreen all network programs. Under Pastore's projected plan, Code Authority members could simply order deletions of "offensive" material from network programs before they went...
Even if adopted, Pastore's watchdog plan could prove about as effective as having the National Rifle Association regulate gun sales. Only 399 of the nation's 619 TV stations subscribe to the N.A.B. Code. It has no control at all over program syndicators, not to mention 220 individual stations producing their own programs.

Either it would try to supervise the entire production process for every TV show or it would be forced to rely on each network to submit its most controversial programs...
Public Apologies. Whatever becomes of his plan, Pastore and the hearings may have already stirred the network executives to sanitize their programs as never before. CBS has refused to ease restrictions on what can and cannot be said on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Two of last month's Tonight Show guest hosts, Bill Cosby and Jerry Lewis, made public apologies for ill-received wisecracks, which had nothing to do with sex or violence. At the N.A.B. convention, the industry's nervous mood was apotheosized by one Catholic priest who, in a luncheon invocation, prayed that God sympathize...
