...Ten couples met in a huge Left Bank apartment. They had foregathered to practice the latest Parisian intellectual pretension-intimatism.

Last week in Chicago, the Synod ended a ten-day celebration of its centennial, attended by 950 delegates representing nearly 5,000 congregations all over the U.S. Stern fundamentalists, they did nothing more revolutionary than to vote in favor of shortening their official name to the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.

Even consols (British Government bonds), which are generally regarded by Britons to be as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar, sagged to a two-year low, then rallied slightly.
