Midst laurels stood: Comedian Bob Hope, 61, given the National Citizenship Award of the Military Chaplains Association for his "tireless, unselfish efforts" to bring "warmth and cheer by personal visits" to U.S. servicemen; Composer Benjamin Britten, 50, winner of the New York Music Critics' Circle awards in two categories-operatic (for A Midsummer Night's Dream) and choral (War Requiem); Thomas J. Watson Jr., 50, chairman of International Business Machines Corp., elected president of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America (he joined his first troop in Short Hills, N.J., on the day in 1927 that...

...theologian with some eyebrow-raising views about the duty of churches not to join any holy war against Communism. Protestant churchmen respect Bennett as a methodical, thoughtful interpreter of social ethics, as a provocative religious journalist (he was a founder of the biweekly Christianity and Crisis), and as a tireless behind-the-scenes worker for the World Council of Churches. Like his predecessor, he is Union-made: he studied theology there, joined the faculty permanently...
