...people who write the books that may henceforth be made available by elecronic networks wonder how they will live if the entire return to them is the royalty on one copy. Authors do not want to keep he "information explosion" from reaching those who need knowledge. What they urge is recognition of the fact that photocopying, search and retrieval, and elecronic networks between libraries add up to a publishing revolution just as much as did the introduction of printing by movable type. Let us find a way of seeing that writers are not automated out of existence...
India's Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri (TIME cover, Aug. 13) is poles apart from Ayub Khan, physically, emotionally and personally. Scarcely 5 ft. tall, with a clerkish mien and a gentle, self-deprecating voice, the wonder is that Shastri ever became the head of the world's largest democratic state. But Shastri's meekness is deceptive, and, in Pakistani opinion at least, he is a determined, wily and resilient opponent...
...vote that defeated Tsirimokos left Constantine's supporters beginning to wonder whether it might not have been preferable for him to accede to Papandreou's original demands for elections six weeks ago.

In 1950, chemists produced 558 articles every two weeks for their publications; in 1965, in the field of chemistry alone, those learned explorers are turning out-and publishing -6,700 articles every fortnight. Small wonder that the U.S. Printing Office is drawing up plans for a new building with 40 acres of working space-six acres bigger than the Pentagon; or that Yale, if it were to continue using its obsolescent card catalogue, would need eight acres of floor space by the year 2040 just...
That Bogy. Some churchmen also wonder whether the churches' willingness to accept Government aid is progress at all. Particularly concerned are Baptists and conservative Lutherans, whose spiritual tradition strongly emphasizes absolute separation of religion and government. Although some Baptist colleges plan to apply for federal funds under the Higher Education Facilities Act, Baptists in Massachusetts have rejected public loans for hospital expansion under the Hill-Burton Hospital Construction Act or for low-income housing under the National Housing Act. This summer, despite their sympathy for the aims of Project Head Start, they reluctantly decided not to participate directly, instead...
