Clergymen Profit From Holy Land Tours
The Associated Press reports that Holy Land tours led by ministers are lucrative yet controversial. Critics warn such trips commercialize religion and urge ministers to avoid using their influence to recruit travelers for profit while noting some leaders gain $50 to $100 per person. Wholesale Tours International markets these trips offering ministers free or discounted travel and cash per paying participant, with ministers’ honorariums drawn from travelers’ fares.

Bitter end to United Nations 30th session sparks clashes
The United Nations General Assembly closes its 30th session in bitterness over resolutions and the body's future. U.S. Ambassador Moynihan called the assembly a scene of abominations while urging consensus. Kuwait's Bishara mocked Moynihan as Mauritius's Ramphal defended the U.S. role. Prime Minister Thorn urged a genuine consensus to restore moral authority. The year’s key issues included a torture declaration and a contentious Zionism as racism measure, with debates over Palestinian statehood and PLO participation in Geneva talks. Israel criticized the assembly but did not plan a boycott.
