...I.C.C.C. was conceived by Carl Mclntire, 61, a tireless Protestant crusader against Romanism, ecumenism, the World Council of Churches and atheistic Communism. To Mclntire, all such activities and organizations are part of a sinister plot to strip man of his individual responsibility before God and cast doubt on the literal interpretation of the Bible. Although his influence does not extend far beyond his own organization, he nips doggedly at the heels of the World Council by showing up at its meetings to issue rival press releases...
...Czechoslovakia's remarkable campaign of passive resistance appeared. The airport officials refused to supply the Soviet planes with fuel. At nearby Pardubice airport, the Russians had to set up their own control tower after Czechoslovak air force officers re fused to guide the arriving armada down to the landing strip.

The swamps have yielded to well-manicured palms and aquamarine swimming pools laid out almost end to end. The crocodiles have given way to a rather more rapacious species - sharks capable of picking an unwary tourist's wallet to the bone in no time. Along the shore, multistoried luxury hotels and condominium apartments march...
...that the Boston Tea Party was a "mob scene." Teachers, parents and community groups in 45 different U.S. school districts attacked the book. In Oregon, irate citizens complained that the book overemphasized Negroes. A group called "Californians Against Land of the Free" cranked out a 25-minute film strip assailing it as part of the "Communist conspiracy...
