Brownie Points. An even graver charge is that in much of Protestantism -including many of the churches that bear Luther's name-his central insight into the primacy of faith has been lost in a bog of building campaigns, service agencies, relief programs and other church-instigated "good works." American Christianity, charges Lutheran Theologian Martin Marty, has fallen back on precisely the kind of spiritual error that the Reformation was designed to combat.

...time in the black, Reagan proposed a budget of $5,047,000,000 and called for $946 million in increased taxes. The tax figure was deceptive, however, because a sizable chunk of it ($170 million) would go toward offsetting property taxes; on the average, homeowners would receive about 6.5% relief from property tax bills...

The decline is sharpest in such durable-goods lines as autos, where production is at its lowest point since 1961. Detroit last week reported a 21.4% drop in auto sales for the second ten days of February. The decline has also been felt in such nondurables as clothing and household goods, which in the final quarter of 1966 showed their slowest sales gains in three years. Moreover, food purchases, which have...
