...Christ is present." To those who came forward to accept Christ at Graham's call (between 800 and 1,000 each night), Billy's charge included a similar theme: "Go to a person of another race and make friends with him." To what extent such efforts will succeed remains to be seen. "I no longer feel I can change the world," Graham admitted last week. Nevertheless, he is clearly still trying...
...France prepared to elect its first new President in more than a decade, the two surviving candidates to succeed Charles de Gaulle virtually reversed their earlier campaign strategies and styles. Interim President Alain Poher had conducted an aloof, deliberately understated campaign during the first round of voting, basking in the premature warmth of his discovery by the country. Last week Poher was scrambling frantically across France and, feeling a chill, shouting to audiences with such ferocity that he lost most of his voice. Ex-Premier Georges Pompidou, by contrast, was far more relaxed in Round 2, affecting the role...
Chairman William McChesney Martin of the Federal Reserve Board warned that without the surtax "we cannot succeed" in slowly controlling today's "critically serious" inflation.

But Maoist factions and splinter parties exist in many countries, and Mao has become a hero to the New Left...
Humble Oil's executives, hoping to succeed where Explorer John Cabot failed, announced last week that they are fitting out,the 115,000-ton tanker Manhattan as an icebreaker for a pioneering-and perilous-test run through the long ice-choked Northwest Passage to the Arctic next month. Denver's King Resources Co., wagering that the Manhattan will make it, has drafted plans to build a deep-water port in Maine's Casco Bay. That port is even closer to the North Slope than Seattle is. No Alaskan oil is expected to be delivered...
