...Wheels. Most such churches begin by taking over a drive-in theater on Sunday morning. Minister, choir and organ perch atop the projection booth or a makeshift stage, and the sermon is piped into cars through window speakers. Among the most impressive of several new churches specially built for drive-in congregations are Schuller's Garden Grove Community Church (designed by Richard Neutra) and the glass-walled Trinity Reformed Church in Kent, Wash., which will accommodate up to 300 people in cars parked outside. Both Garden Grove and Trinity Reformed also serve worshipers seated in the nave...

Their natural habitat is the "jock booth," where, surrounded by stacks of 45-r.p.m. records, they suck on lemons, spray their throats, turn the treble up and the bass down, and wail.

Taking a further look at the right to privacy, the court has agreed to rule whether or not an unconstitutional search occurs when a phone booth is bugged by a device on top of but not physically penetrating the booth. It will also decide whether various state laws permitting police to stop and frisk a suspicious person violate the constitutional ban on unreasonable searches. And, in still another case involving the rights of a potential criminal defendant, it will consider whether requiring the purchase of a federal gambling stamp constitutes unlawful compulsion to provide self-incriminatory information...
