Back at Taizé after the war, the group began to attract attention both from Roman Catholics and Protestants. At first, criticism was strong. To many Protestants, monkishness was an aberration of Catholics and should remain so. But over the years, most of the opposition has given way to interest and approval. Editorialized Paris' daily Le Monde: "Taizé contributes to leveling the psychological and doctrinal obstacles that history has strewn in the path of Christian unity." Taizé's brothers (average age: 30) are currently either Lutheran or Calvinist...

...buffs scored two victories against Chrysler. While passing the Plymouth plant in Detroit, U.P.I. Staff Photographer Joe Marquette caught the company with its guards down, spotted a group of 1961 Plymouth sedans behind a chain-link fence.

Last month a Lansing, Mich, photographer made the biggest score of the season when...

This year charter flights will attract such diverse groups as Manhattan's Cliff Dwellers Deviltry and Diversion Society...

The flights entail less bother and bookkeeping than regular flights, since an entire plane is chartered for a flat rate (e.g., $22,000 for a DC-7C seating 79) to a group that collects the money from its members, handles the tickets and seating. For the economy-minded traveler, charter flights offer the equivalent of first-class service (meals include hors d'oeuvres, filet mignon, hard liquor, wine and champagne) at less than half the price, and a chance to travel...
