Originally produced in during the reign of King James I of England, the bible out sells any other bible in this country, according to the worlds largest publisher of scriptures. Thomas Nelson, Inc., of Nashville, which has been in the bible business since 1798 is so confident of the continued and even growing popularity of the King James version, that it has spent $350,000 to produce a new edition that will soon be introduced. 1611 The Called Open Bible, it is described by Sam Moore, president of rtelson, as the most comprehensive study bible published in the last 40 Nelson, a Lebanese immigrant who worked his way through college as a bible salesman, said the Kjig James version was chosen for this comprehensive project because of its traditional beauty and dignity. Another reason cited was people continue to turn to the King James version as THE Bible despite a proliferation of modern translations.

But the television industrys attempt to respond to some of that criticism with the family hour has resulted in a split vote from the religious media watchdogs. Under the family hour plan, the first hour of network prime time programming is set aside for programs deemed suitable for viewing by the whole family. If a program to be aired during that period contains material considered unsuitable for viewer younger viewers a advisory is broadcast in both audio and visual form. The concept, said Paul M. Stevens, president of the Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commission, is "an admirable example of by an industry that does more internal policing than most any other in the United States." comments were Stevens prompted by action by the Writers Guild of America, the Directors Guild of Americj and the Screen Actors Guild challenging the imposition of the ames A.

And what would its author like to have seen done for hiic notion's nial? Ills answer came after a thoughtful pause. "I would have had a national fair somewhere maybe in Indianapolis, St. Louis or Denver, but not on either coast; I would have built a complete new city of 150,000 halfway between Washington and Richmond to show what we could do. In the intellectual field I would have had a really magnificent encyclopedia of science with world contributors as well as Americans. And I would have granted every state at ieast $10 m.Ulion of tex money for the best local celebration that could be devised, taking the form of something permanent such as parks or assembly halls. And if anyone says that this is more expensive than we could afford, it seems to me thats like saying to a couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary that they can't afford an extra $300 to celebrate.

If there is any one psychological cause for Watergate it is that except for Nixon none of these men had ever run for public office and they were all deficient in a knowledge of American traditions and American values. Such traditions and values are pointed up in Micheners latest novel, set in the imaginary town of Centennial, Cole., a composite of towns in the West.

In particular, the bishops found themselves at the opposite end from Stevens in their evaluation of the broadccast industrys policing ability. Stevens said the present family viewing guidelines were "the product of give and take and while not perfect, allow families to watch television together.
