After reading up on Pasteur and experimenting with figs, raisins and blackberries, Dr. Welch gladdened the hearts of fellow communicants on Sunday by serving sterilized, unfermented grape juice.

When the State Department's Bob Murphy, arriving for Big Three talks in London, reported how wrought up the French and British were, President Eisenhower ordered Secretary Dulles to London forthwith.

Forthwith, Pope Pius XII took pains to correct the Bulletin, and added that with certain stiff reservations, e.g., no encouragement of the idea that there can be sin without subjective guilt, psychoanalysis is a legitimate method of treatment. Protestant and Jewish faiths have lent their support to joint enterprises in psychiatry and religion, such as the National Academy of Religion and Mental Health (TIME...
