...SCHULMAN, TIME'S Seattle Bureau Chief, was treading the trails and villages of Alaska again last week when the word came through that the U.S. Senate had voted statehood for the territory. The news was as cheering for Schulman as it was for most Alaskans, for both he and Seattle Correspondent Russ Sackett had spent weeks in the territory when the bill was in the House, reporting the cover story on Governor Mike Stepovich (TIME, June 9), and both had acquired a glow of personal discovery for the "land of beauty and swat." Schulman blushed a modest red when...
...Talk, Not a Word." That night in the Sheraton-Carlton, Goldfine's handlers again put him before television cameras-with trimmings. Newsmen were invited to the hotel, where liquor and caviar were waiting (Goldfine picked up the tab, but he and his lawyers declined to say if it would be written off on his tax returns). Goldfine was nearly an hour late, so Publicist McCrary presided, still explaining that he was not going to make a red cent out of his efforts (next day, McCrary withdrew from the Goldfine team).

Interior Secretary Fred Seaton, getting word that diehard opposition, mostly Southern, had gasped its last, rushed from a steak dinner to Capitol Hill. Alaska's Governor Mike Stepovich excused himself to his dinner hosts, sped to the Capitol. The Senate roll was called, and the U.S. Senate last week voted 64 (31 Democrats, 33 Republicans) to 20 to admit Alaska to the Union. Barring only the foregone conclusions of a presidential signature and an Alaska referendum next month, the U.S. had its first...
...public to interpret Biblical statements and events in terms of the thought forms of the people who wrote the Scripture down. Said one bishop: "The Bible mustn't be thought of as the Koran is thought of. It hasn't got the personal authority of the word of Mohammed behind it, but its every word is illuminated by the Holy Spirit. This idea we must get across once again, and if we can, people may understand that the Bible can help them deal with many of today's problems by guiding them in the way the problems...
