...have eased God out of the cosmos, all but obliterated the supernatural dimension of life. Urbanization has made the rural imagery of Scripture incomprehensible to "hungry sheep" who have never seen one. A radically aggressive atheism demands God's death for the sake of human freedom. New philosophies stare uncomprehendingly at seemingly static Christian doctrines 1,500 years old. For Christians, the age of anxiety is the age of ebbing faith, and Bishop Pike is not the only prophet crying out for the church to restate, reshape, renew. "Now is the time to renew, while there are still people...
...does this prematurely autobiographical book, which reveals, among other things, that martinis don't come with cherries. Seems that when Rona was 13, she wrote a story in which a lonely lady dining at Schrafft's "stared morosely at the cherry in the martini."

The German Quick has put her on its cover nine times since January, and the French Lui recently ran 14 pages of her photos, and hailed her "old-fashioned, hot, sensual return to the curve...
...drum rolls and a guitar plunks, a voice intones: "Old Glory has never fallen so close to the earth . . . we stare at our shoelaces when they play the national anthem . . . patriotism has been condemned . . . new-car, prettier-girl, bigger-house sort of pride in country-somewhere along the way we've lost it . . ." While the guitar switches to something sinister and Oriental, the voice continues: "Our enemies . . . they've been putting steel wedges in the cracks in our wall of solidarity. The new idea is don't attack America, wear it down gradually . . . and did you know...
