Last week the other 88% found a sorely needed traffic cop: the new American College Testing Program, brainchild of President E. F. Lindquist of the Measurement Research Center at the State University of Iowa. Using Lindquist's whizbang $1,000,000 scoring machines (6,000 answer sheets an hour), ACT is aimed at Midwestern colleges that have finally started using entrance exams and want to maintain uniform standards...
...tennis is in a poor state. With the single exception of Cincinnati's crew-cut Tony Trabert, who turned pro in 1955, the U.S. has not produced a tennis star of consistent world championship caliber since Pancho Gonzales began to play for pay in 1949. Furthermore, the raids of Pro Promoter Jack Kramer on Australia's crack performers have lopped off amateur stars as fast as they emerged. Three years ago an erratic, second-string southpaw named Neale Fraser was ranked well behind Lew Hoad and Ken Rosewall, was later overshadowed by Mai Anderson and Ashley Cooper...
...make her 400-meter victory even sweeter, Chris beat her great home-state rival, Berkeley's husky, 17-year-old Sylvia Ruuska (TIME, Mar. 9) by a full 7.5 sec., established herself as the most promising U.S. freestyler in years.

God is what one wants Him to be at a particular moment, and if we can affirm nothing about Him, we can feel comfortable that He will not chastise us for our failings and our apostasy--for who is to determine what is failing and what is apostasy but ourselves, who create...
...while the Church may "stand for" the best in human life, it does not compel obedience to its laws as the way to achieve the best in human life, and since it is a human institution, it can imply as much obedience as such other human institutions as the state, the school, or the corporation. This view of the Church as a useful adjunct to religion but not at all necessary is borne out in several other places in the poll. Only 23 per cent of present believers considered "active connection with a church or synagogue as essential...
