...North Viet Nam port of Haiphong (which the French, under Geneva's terms, must evacuate next week). The French admit that the negotiations have so far proved "disappointingly unproductive." but they persevere; they are trying so hard for Communist good will that they recently sold the valuable Charbonnages du Tonkin coal mines to the Communists for the mere promise of 1,000,000 tons of coal- to be mined and delivered later on.

...nights before, Ballerina Nora Kaye starred in another episode which also seemed funny-when it was all over.

Flying Theologian. Dean Brauer's specialty: Puritanism, on which he is currently writing two books. A Midwesterner (from Fond du Lac, Wis.), Brauer studied at Northwestern Lutheran Theological Seminary in Minneapolis, took his Ph.D. in church history at F.T.F.. then spent two years at Union Theological teaching and serving as assistant to Theologian Paul Tillich. Puritan Expert Brauer sees a new kind of theological liberalism emerging at F.T.F. "It still asserts the creativeness and potentiality of the human spirit." he says, "but it is also much more aware of the limitations of the human spirit-for example...
