...last been to the Stanhope St. office last Fall to pick up Resistance newspapers to sell in the Dunster Dining Room. I had arrived in the midst of the Resistance's first birthday party-October 16, 1968. That was the anniversary of the first draft card turn-in on the Boston Common...
Ever since the 1830s, when sectionalism and new waves of immigration began to splinter American Lutheranism, denominational unity has seemed an all but unattainable dream. Ethnic, political and doctrinal differences have frustrated efforts toward ecumenism; by the turn of the century there were 21 separate Lutheran church groups in the U.S. But the goal of unity remained. Last month it became more attainable than ever when the dogmatically conservative Lutheran Church/Missouri Synod (2.8 million U.S. members) narrowly voted to accept "altar and pulpit fellowship" with the slightly more liberal American Lutheran Church (2.6 million members...
...disagree. They point out that the symptoms of autism usually develop in a baby's first weeks, seemingly well before strong parental influence is possible.

FTC Chairman Paul Rand Dixon suggests that broadcasters should keep right on giving free air time to antismoking...
When Manhattan's World Trade Center is topped off in 1974, it will turn part of the run-down lower West Side into a capital of banking, shipping, customs and other international trade services. The twin 110-story towers will require 190,000 tons of steel. Last week steelmen were debating some unusual details of the bidding for that job. More than that, builders were wondering whether the Port of New York Authority's unorthodox contracts for the supply, fabrication and erection of all that metal may lead to a new way of doing business with steel producers...
