...Chinese" Gordon (TIME, Aug. 5), is smashing records in Manhattan. Reruns of his The Ten Commandments are drawing so well that the film could become the second biggest grosser in Hollywood history, edging out his own Ben-Hur and nearing the $41 million record of Gone With the Wind. And that just counts the North American take. Overseas, Heston is an even bigger favorite. He is also taken seriously as an actor. Despite the critics' First Commandment-thou shalt not worship a graven performance-Heston's stony acting has won him a German Bambi, three Belgian Uilenspiegels...
Food for Confusion. There were other even more immediate straws of inflation in the wind. Food prices are up all around the country. Last week Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman traveled to New York for a well-publicized look at the high price of food in the nation's biggest metropolitan area (an Agriculture Department spokesman, trying to stress the significance of Freeman's visit, rather ineptly announced that the Secretary was so concerned that he had already been "watching the situation for the last two days").

Then Geoff Hurst got his second wind, ramming in a five-footer for one goal and scoring the clincher on a long solo dash to bring England the World Cup for the first time in history...
...Holy Spirit has always been a recondite concept. The Old Testament prophets first spoke of ruach, the "breath" or spirit of God, which manifested itself as a wind, or sometimes as fire. The New Testament mentions the Holy Spirit 88 times variously as the "spirit of truth," the bearer of "witness," and the "promise of the Father," but gives no further definition. Not until the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople in the 4th century was Christian Trinitarianism proclaimed: one God in three persons-Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Contemporary religious thinkers do not seek to redefine the Spirit, but rather...
