MORE OF THE MONKEES (Colgem). Purists may object to the fact that the Monkees were hand-picked and trained to make money instead of deciding how to do it themselves. But the younger rock 'n' roll fans care nothing for the origin of the species. They have bought the second Monkee LP even faster than the first.

Moreover, an ever-growing roll call of communities have chosen church-related institutions to administer or share in local antipoverty programs; in some cities, such as San Antonio, church groups dominate community efforts. In all, religious organizations receive $50 million a year for programs sponsored by the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity...
