Hymns can be modern in lyrics; they had better not be modern in music. Congregations resist anything more daring than the late Ralph Vaughan Williams' For All the Saints, published in 1906. Virtually frozen out of churches, except as one-time experiments, are the much-publicized jazz hymns and liturgies which are supposed to make religion meaningful to the teenagers. But for all the conservatism of hymnal music, ministers seem to agree there is a properly Christian radicalism to the trend in lyrics. "In our faith today," says Savannah's Dr. Bland Tucker, an editor...
...party, Steinbaum starts off strong, determined to resist any blandishments. When he meets his host, the German air marshal, he complains about the treatment of prisoners. The big, bluff marshal half admonishes, half humors the colonel, above all takes him into his confidence. The marshal, a kind of Hermann Göring character, exudes animal vitality, lives lustily and apologizes for nothing. He is engagingly frank with Steinbaum: "I don't see anything but beasts, scrapping and clawing each other from the beginning of time. I neither invent another world that isn't there...
...order to accept it one would have to admit a whole set of terms, "learned words," "verbal connections," "inspiration phase," and doubtless many others.

At one point in their research, Leary and his associates found themselves faced with this alternative: either they would try to keep the (scientific) world abreast of their experience and results, they would try to communicate experiences which resist verbalization, or they would plunge ahead alone into uncharted mental states, and ignore communication. They chose the latter. Knowledge such as Leary might provide would undoubtedly be valuable but he will not provide it because he regards the tools of the mind, including learned language, as unimportant...
...content : he plays a man who thinks he can do without a woman. Do what? Do business, for one thing, and as the manager of a Nevada casino, he has plenty of business to do. One day, temptation (Suzanne Pleshette) comes slithering into his Eveless Eden. He resists. But after temptation comes responsibility (Claire Wilcox). He can't resist. How could any redblooded, blue-eyed, squarejawed, caramel-centered American male resist a darling little five-year-old girl abandoned by her heartless father in the lobby of a gambling casino; abandoned without a Mr. Goodbar to her name, without...
