...have lived my life for my church, not for any direction within the church, not for any theological school, not for any special task of the church, but for the church as a whole." Thus, in 1960, did Protestant Bishop Otto Dibelius sum up his career in what he called his ecclesiastical testament. For the longtime head of Germany's Evangelical (Lutheran) Church, who died after a stroke and erysipelas last week at 86, it was a fitting self-appraisal...
...moves with me [pause]. It [pause] captures your attention." It does indeed. And so does just about everything that happens in Harold Pinter's Broadway play The Homecoming (TIME, Jan. 13). The drama is strictly Theater of the Absurd-opaque, funny here, touching there, deeply disturbing, and in sum the most compelling show in a dreary Broadway season. What helps make it so is the actress in the moving underwear, Vivien Merchant. She also happens to be the wife of Playwright Pinter and the woman who has helped make most of her husband's play come to life...
...substances of a type found in brain tissue and another chemically similar to "psychic energizers." So, by centuries-old accident, the Piaroa anticipated modern psychiatrists who only recently discovered that by using several classes of drugs together, they can achieve a synergistic effect-one that is greater than the sum of the separate components.

Except for the children of rich families, most students have found it exceedingly difficult to pay such a big sum for school fees. In order to make some money, they cannot help, as soon as the school bell rings to dismiss school, rushing to various hotels, restaurants, and coffee houses to fight for jobs as dish-washers, waiters, baby-sitters, etc. They often work from 4 o'clock...
...Reproductive Biology at the Medical School. A total of $3.5 million has already been raised toward this end ($1.8 million from the Federal Government and $1.7 million from the Ford and Avalon Foundations). In addition, the Rockefeller Foundation has pledged as part of the Program for Harvard Medicine the sum of $2 million payable over a period of years to provide staffing for the Center. The Medical School also has other large building needs. And we are still $800,000 short of the $2 million in added endowment we have been seeking for the Center for Renaissance Studies...
