...aircraft: one circles above and trains a pencil-thin beam of laser light on the target, while the other drops its bombs in the general direction of the object. Responding to infra-red sensors mounted in their noses, the bombs ride the beam's reflections in a long glide pattern to the target. Sometimes they strike within a 5-ft. radius of the bull...
...Carnegie Corporation, with assets of $305 million, voted against the reformers' proposals at Eli Lilly, Merck, Ford and G.M. But Alan Pifer, the foundation's president, wrote to chairmen of the firms emphasizing the "substantial importance" of the issues. Trustees of the United Methodist Church's Glide Foundation ($6 million) wrote to each of the companies in the Glide portfolio that they would support management's slate of directors only if it included women and "minority-group" representatives.

Several liberal "straight" churches in San Francisco have made a point of offering a haven to homosexuals since 1964. One of them, Glide Memorial Methodist Church, willingly blesses "pledges of commitment" between homosexuals. A California United Church of Christ minister, Tom Maurer, 53, has recently announced, without reprisal, that he is a homosexual; a seminarian in the same denomination who publicly avowed his homosexuality is expected to be ordained next fall. On the other hand, the Rev. Gene Leggett, 36, was recently suspended by Texas Methodists...
