The evidence consisted of 1) "deep pitting by shrapnel." 2) "a hole blown inward into the No. 3 fuel tank." 3) "four parts of a twisted, burned and corroded clockwork mechanism that has no relation to any equipment or structure of the aircraft."

The series calls for a cadre of Sunday-school teachers who are a far cry from the usual warmhearted spinsters and parish wheel horses. The new teachers should be well trained in Christian doctrine and church history, teach full 50-minute periods, be accompanied by a "classroom observer" who is to be "an additional set of eyes and ears ... so that the teacher may know his pupils . . ."
