Jerusalem has been recaptured by the Jews. Soviet power threatens the Mideast. Communist China is working on an H-bomb delivery system. Nine nations are now in the Common Market. To growing thousands of U.S. Christians, these political facts are portents of doom, part of a detailed scenario for the Apocalypse. While most Christians were concentrating last week on the First Coming-Jesus' nativity at Bethlehem-these believers were concerned with Christ's Second Coming at the end of time, which they are convinced is at hand...
...recent years the scenario involved in developing new weapons has almost always followed the inevitable course of a Greek tragedy: the contractor signs with the Defense Department to do the work; then he runs into cost problems and manages to renegotiate the contract at a higher price.

...question is, where is the spirit of Frank Champi today? You know it's not down in Row A at the goal line; Frank was a class ahead of us so he should be closer to the five. Perhaps that spirit is circulating through uniform number 19. The scenario is unrolling before me now as I listen to the account of Champi's final pass to Pete Varney...
