...completely from commercial use during the past 30 years. If the Wilderness Bill has any economic effect, is will be to increase business opportunities by reopening a few of these areas, following the extensive resource surveys which the bill requires.

Any adjustments from the surveys, therefore, would be small...
Borrowed Blend. Honest to God is a blend of ideas borrowed from some of the century's most provocative Protestant theologians. Like German Biblical Critic Rudolf Bultmann, Robinson regards the virgin birth and the heaven-above-hell-below framework of Scripture as religious myths; he argues that the essential Gospel message must be "demythologized" by liberating it from antiquated supernatural language.

Ismail Y. Yusupov, 48, knew that he had a tough row to hoe when he was named Communist Party boss in the problem-plagued virgin lands of Kazahkstan (TIME, Jan. 4).

California's present-day "fruit tramps and Okies" are the counterparts of the noble pioneers who settled the West...
...Smiling tenderly, the hero slips a ring on the finger of his bride (Dorian Gray), and the priest declares them man and wife. A jeweler in the wedding party steps forward with a diamond tiara. "Father,"' the groom says piously, "I have brought a little gift to the Virgin." The priest accepts it gratefully: "How good of you, my son." The jeweler walks briskly out of the church, clutching a fat check from the groom and confident that, even if it bounces, the priest will honorably render unto Caesar. But the instant he is out of sight, the "priest...
