...What happens to China's 450 million infidels when they die?" eight-year-old William McCarthy asked the Campbellite circuit-rider. "Son," answered the preacher, "they all go straight to hell." Then & there Ohio-born William McCarthy decided that there was no God. Last week, at 83, white-haired Atheist McCarthy, still of the same mind, was hard at work fighting religion in the New Jersey superior court...
What Lawyer Heyman Zimel of Paterson, N.J. wanted, to make a foolproof test case, were protests from 1) the parent of a schoolchild, and 2) a New Jersey taxpayer. Mrs. Henry O. Klein, ex-Roman Catholic and longtime Secularist, filled the bill for the parent: her 17-year-old daughter Gloria was a student at the Hawthorne High School. Donald R. Doremus, a mechanic of East Rutherford and director of the Secularists of New Jersey, was glad to protest as a taxpayer. With Lawyer Zimel, they filed their case before Superior Court Judge Robert H. Davidson...

A forceful preacher, an energetic administrator and a precise theologian, he was called from a pastorate in Nashville, Tenn. in 1903 to be vicar of St. Agnes' Chapel in Manhattan's Trinity parish.

How can the U.S. manage its money better? And why will there be an estimated $5.5 billion deficit this year during the biggest boom in history? As a start toward getting the answers, the subcommittee got the views, in comprehensive questionnaires, of upwards of 450 U.S. economists, bankers and federal officials...
Thus, for all Snyder's talk about periodic balances, this policy of writing blank checks has actually put the budget beyond practical control. Budget Director Frank Pace Jr. admitted as much. Said he: "For any given year, it is unpractical to count on achieving any specific goal, whether it is a balanced budget or a pre-determined surplus or deficit." Such items as crop support, in which the expense cannot be totted "up in advance, "can substantially change the surplus or deficit." In short, neither Snyder nor Pace had any idea when the budget would be balanced...
