...vino now comes in a 1.5-liter size, while the half-gallon of hard stuff has become a 1.75-liter container. Judging the better buy between sizes is enough to drive an Einstein to drink. A handy tool to avert befuddlement is "The Liquor & Wine Pocket Saver," a small slide rule that compares prices in both standard and metric sizes. Example: if the old quart of one whisky brand went for $15.14, the 1.75-liter bottle should cost $27.99, the 4-liter model $63.95. At many liquor stores, Pocket $aver is on the house, plus...

...organizers of Urbana under the direction of John W. Alexander, Ph.D. president of IVCF, do not disguise the rigors of the conference or the life of the missionary in their glossy publications and audio-visual presentations. They do, however, add a political bite to many of their messages. A slide show that followed Lum's speech at the Lutheran church last Friday included the ususal scenes of sweaty but cheerful youths working with the underpriviledged. The show then identified "revolutionary Marxism," Islam and Eastern "cults" as the enemies of the church's evangelistic efforts. Pamphlets and paperback books which further...
