...technique has earned Literacy Village a $100,000 U.S. Government grant, half of which will go toward new literacy programs in other Indian languages. That's how Welthy Fisher wants it. Spry and quick-witted, she carries a walking stick she doesn't need, is planning to train agricultural workers on new acreage she has acquired near Literacy Village, and divides her time between leading her staff in Lucknow and raising funds...
...York Theological Seminary, founded in 1900 to train seminarians for the pastoral and missionary ministry, is, in Bonnell's opinion, uniquely suited now to specialize in urban ministry. It has on its staff such experts as the Rev. George W. Webber, who has led a program of community and spiritual renewal in East Harlem.

The probable cost: $5, or $1.78 less than the present train fare, and about $8 less than the price of a plane ticket. Special high-speed trains now being developed by the Budd Co. and United Aircraft may roll up passenger traffic-and profits-even faster...
Side 3 of Blonde on Blonde bears a mother lode of vacuity, 4 of its 5 songs. "Temporary Like Achilles" adds some new verses to the great flop from Opus 6, "It Takes a Train to Cry," but it cuts out the yodel-like chorus that almost saved that earlier piece...
