...finds growing Fundamentalism among younger Southern Baptists. Given the nationwide and global involvement of the denomination, the implications of Rogers' victory go well beyond the American South. At a mass rally of anti-Fundamentalists during the Atlanta meeting, the president of the Baptist World Alliance, Australian Theologian G. Noel Vose, remarked that he is ''a little fearful, because when the Southern Baptists sneeze, we get a cold on the other side of the world...
...high class society to him. Light mixes of baby blue and lavender reflect a magical violet and pink sky shining down on picnickers in sun-bonnets sitting under the shade of stubby saplings whilst a glow of yellow gold bathes the hillock rising up from the watery expanse.

Last September federal banking regulators forced the resignation of First National's chairman and largest stockholder, Charles A. Vose Sr., 85, who had led the bank since 1945. But the new chairman, J.G. Cairns Jr., found the institution in disarray, its books a mess and its staff slashed from 2,400 to 650. First National's decline proved so irreversible that on July 11 the FDIC foresaw an imminent...
