...opulent Trinity Church. The Blake proposal, said Dr. Heuss, "too easily brushes aside the formidable problems involved," notably the need for approval by the decennial Lambeth Conference. But, said Van Dusen, the Lambeth Conference has specifically approved the plan on which the Blake proposal was modeled-the Scheme of Church Union in Ceylon. "Such statements can spring only from lamentable ignorance or from an intention to mislead," scolded Van Dusen. "More than that; they presuppose a view of apostolic succession which large numbers of Episcopal bishops and clergy do not hold." Thus the real issue is whether, in deference...

Most of the foreign workers are pleased with their lot; at government insistence, they get all the benefits that German workers do, including wages that start at a legal minimum of 65? an hour.

Lush as a tropical jungle, the book alternates between fierce introspection and a hallucinatory evocation of the Mexican scene. When it was published in 1947, it received...
...kind of big-city better living was put before New Yorkers. Perhaps nothing will ever make New York truly livable until the streets are gardens and the traffic is subterranean, but the new plan offers a realistic promise of traffic-free isolation in at least one area. The scheme: transform the all but deserted Welfare Island into a development where, as Architect Victor Gruen says, "all that is disturbing in modern-day city life is placed underground...
