...John C. Bennett, D.D., president of Union Theological Seminary. The Biblical viewpoint places you in the mainstream of 20th century activity and, as oft it has, commands even the reluctant to shoulder the robe and risk of the prophet...
...died before the war began, Bonhoeffer would have been remembered only as a dedicated young minister cut down before his time. But during his years of commitment to the underground, he matured from pastor to prophet. In his incomplete Ethics, he proposed a practical, person-centered morality based on love rather than law, which in some ways foreshadows today's "situation ethics" (TIME, Jan. 21).

Although the Utah Mormons claim only one direct descendant of Smith, at least 190 are Reorganized Saints, and their President, W. Wallace Smith, 65, is the prophet's grandson. The Reorganized Saints hold to the belief that Joseph Smith, before his death, anointed his eldest son, Joseph III, to succeed him as the sect's leader. Young Joseph became President of the Reorganized Church in 1860, ruled it for 54 years, and was followed...
