Pious Legend. For all the veneration that Jerusalem's holy places command, the sacredness of many of them is based more on pious legend than historical proof. The stations of the Cross along the Via Dolorosa-marking Christ's path to His crucifixion-begin near the site of the Temple in accordance with medieval tradition. Most Biblical scholars, nonetheless, now believe that Jesus' death march began on the other side of the Old City, near the Jaffa Gate. Many of the churches marking the shrines, moreover, have been rebuilt so often that they have tenuous claims...
Baltimore and Hartford, Conn., include in their city-planning organizations not only the engineers and architects of old, but sociologists and architectural historians as well. New Haven, Conn., under the farsighted command of Mayor Richard C. Lee, has leaned heavily on the ideas of top urbanologists to organize community schools, revitalize a dying downtown area and yet preserve as much as possible of the old neighborhoods' historical character. Detroit, under Mayor Jerome P. Cavanagh, has created a "Human Resources Development" program, budgeted at $27 million this year, to provide adult and youth employment centers, medical clinics, neighborhood youth corps...
...into hysteria. The last movement, ("Allegro appasionato.") was a curiously dance-like finale with its predominantly triple meter (this, too, is a bit of heritage from the musical past) and was quite lighthearted compared to the general severity of the piece.

But these totals include administrative cadres, line-of-supply forces and part-time guerrillas, and there is endless room for argument about definitions as well as the count. Saigon headquarters sometimes uses the highest possible figures on enemy strength in support of arguments for more U.S. troops, then is naively surprised when the U.S. public figures the war can't be going very well if the enemy...
Homes in the Air. President Hansberger, 47, a graduate of the University of Minnesota and Harvard Business School ('47), keeps in touch with his 21,000 employees in 80 main plants by hopping around by Lear jet and Cessna. He spends Saturday mornings with his top command at the main office in Boise's Bank of Idaho building. Heavily recruited from the Harvard and Stanford business schools, it is a compact, youthful group. "We purposely stay thin," says Charles F. McDevitt, 35, who is one of the company's six vice presidents. "You just have...
