...they had yet to go. Sponsored by Concilium, a five-year-old international journal of theology edited by some of Catholicism's most progressive thinkers, the congress provided an array of theological superstars including The Netherlands' Edward Schillebeeckx, France's Yves Congar, Germany's Karl Rahner, Hans Küng and Johan Metz. Participants came from 32 countries, including 40 from Asia, Africa and Latin America. Some 700 observers signed up and nearly 200 journalists arrived for the five-day conference. Earnest, grave, mostly business-suited in the now-common European priestly fashion, the theologians gathered...
Tokyo followed New York's lead, and with good reason. During a five-day stretch last month, the world's largest city was nearly asphyxiated when exhaust fumes from its 2,000,000 cars were trapped overhead by a temperature inversion (TIME, Aug. 10). Autos were first kept away from Ginza Street, the famed half-mile-long business thoroughfare, plus three other shopping areas. Later the ban was extended to 122 of the city's busy streets...
...naval architect can trim her here, pad her there, but what counts in the end is how well all the parts move together. Last week, after years of designing and testing, the three U.S. contenders for the 1970 America's Cup showed their shapes in public in a five-day series of trial races.

Indira's visit was a major event, not just because she was the first chief of state to pay a call since independence, but also because about 67% of Mauritius' 807,000 people are of Indian origin. So, for that matter, is roly-poly Premier Sir See-woosagur Ramgoolam...
...loose organization. To cope with those systems requires what I.B.P. scientists call "big biology"-the reinforcement of biology by a dozen disciplines, including meteorology, physics and geology. Because most specialists have traditionally worked alone, W. Frank Blair, chairman of the U.S. effort in I.B.P., held a series of five-day workshops at which the scientists learned to talk to one another. "It was difficult for them to get over their individual hang-ups, their insecurities, and to expose their ignorance in fields related to their own," he says. "But they...
