Unless such steps are taken to provide greater equality of opportunity for higher education, the commission argues, an important reservoir of national talent will go untapped. Today, said Chairman Clark Kerr, former president of the University of California, "a young man or woman whose family's income is in the top half of the national income range has three times the chance to get a college education as one whose family is in the bottom half." The commission's figures show that while 19 out of 20 of the brightest students in the top 25% income group...
Outside the high, grim wall that surrounds the house, hawkers shout, traffic rumbles and pedestrians chatter. Inside the wall, no one speaks to Anthony Grey, Reuters' man in Peking. Grey is confined to a 12-ft.-square whitewashed room, whose window is partially boarded up. Through the window, he can see the wall, and he can catch only a glimpse of a tiny courtyard and-again-the wall.

Died. Tallulah Bankhead, 65, the iridescent and irrepressible empress of show business, whose gravel-throated cry of "Daaahling!" was part of the language for nearly half a century; of pneumonia; in Manhattan.

In contrast to an ethical, teaching Jesus, Barth preached a divine Christ who was, in his person, God's message to man. Rejecting the higher criticism that reduced the Bible to human wish fulfillment, Barth proclaimed the objective authority of Scripture. The Bible, he wrote, was not man's word about God, but God's word about man. Barth's thinking, which came to be known as "crisis theology...
...return of political freedom to the German people, who, he said, had been Hitler's first victims. He consistently refused to condemn the aggressions of Russia with anything like the same vigor with which he had challenged Hitler. Unlike Nazism, Barth argued, Communism was a totally materialistic philosophy whose frank atheism represented no threat to the internal authenticity of the church. He thus refused to protest the Communist invasion of Hungary-although when a friend visited him in the hos pital last summer and asked about his health, Barth growled: "I'm fine, but the Czechs...
