These birds do not flock together. E.T.S. does not "define intelligence," nor is it a "regulator of the human mind," as Nader contends. Indeed, E.T.S. does not develop or give intelligence tests such as those illustrated in the article. Tests of scholastic aptitude, which E.T.S. does develop, measure mathematical and verbal abilities developed through years of schooling and life experience. They are used simply because they present a fair sample of the intellectual skills students need in college. E.T.S. agrees that the scores should not be used to the exclusion of other information.

In 1967 Bengsch became the first East German to wear a Cardinal's red hat-a promotion that reflected Pope Paul VI's quiet Ostpolitik
...Ecumenical Patriarchate is anxious to pursue unity in part because of its own precarious existence and dwindling flock in Turkey, which has dropped from 80,000 in 1955 to 6,000 today. The situation was poignantly clear when only 250 people (including reporters) attended last week's historic Eucharist. But Dimitrios' effort could be frustrated by Orthodoxy's largest branch, the Church of Russia, which rivals the Ecumenical Patriarchate's authority and is inhibited in any pursuit of Christian unity by the wishes of the Soviet state. To the Kremlin, Catholicism is an alien influence that...
