...papal injunction was a gloomy beginning to a meeting that many Catholics regard as a real test of how willing church leaders are to extend the accomplishments of the Second Vatican Council. Specifically, the synod represents the first real test of collegiality-the democratic notion, adopted by Vatican II, that the bishops collectively share ruling power with the Pope. As a kind of ecclesiastical senate, the synod is expected to advise the Pope on current problems troubling the church and to extend the legislative accomplishments of the council. But as at the beginning of Vatican II, change-fearing conservatives...
Since the first atomic explosion at Alamogordo, N. Mex., in 1945, uranium has been the key ingredient in nuclear armaments.

When fired from test guns, tiny uranium projectiles produced by California's TRW Systems and several other companies, have had such devastating effects on targets during recent demonstrations that the Department of Defense has been awarding contracts for further development work...
...rock aviators who converged on Reno for last week's National Championship Air Races divided naturally into two classes.

The idea is to test the plan gently at first by creating between $1 billion and $2 billion worth of S.D.R. a year over a five-year period. But a solid decision remains some years...
...superbird Lou Brock, 4 for 4 yesterday and 0 for 4 against Lonborg, asked plate umpire A1 Barlick to check for a spitball to lead off the ninth, there could be no more doubt that the Cardinals were dead. It was Lonborg who should have been given the saliva test. Soon the final out was salted away in the glove of centerfielder Reggie Smith, and the Sox evened the Series...
