...balance, the Austin Experiment has made more friends than foes. Over the year, 570 ministers and laymen (mostly Methodists, Episcopalians and Presbyterians) from across the country have crowded into the community's guesthouse for symposiums; most go home impressed by the intensity of the program and the zeal of the students. Thanks to the community's work in the past, other "experiments" have been organized on nearly 50 other U.S. campuses from Brown to Wisconsin. But perhaps the best measure of Lewis' success is his group of "lost laymen": of the 1,500 students who have lived...
...more unlikely political leader would be difficult to imagine. Tall, spare, bespectacled, Frondizi lacks the charisma of power; he has none of Fidel Castro's flamboyant oratory, transmits none of Ja-nio Quadros' messianic zeal. Yet in office he was a superb politician of maneuver-good at the back-room deal, the clever compromise that resolved disputes but settled no issues.

From then on he added a missionary's zeal to his driving ambition; by the time World War II broke out, he was in command of an empire of 10,000 employees...
...though he still watches overall policy, is making a manful effort to turn day-by-day operation over to his son-in-law-and adopted son-Masaharu Matsushita, 49. (Matsushita's own son died when he was two years old.) The younger Matsushita, who lacks the contagious zeal of his self-made father-in-law, is intensifying the company's research efforts and stressing computers...
