...extraterrestrial life: the Scripture makes no mention of it. Says he: "If God had created other men on other planets, these men would not be derived from Adam, and one would not be able to understand the logic of the divine plan of man's salvation ... To admit that the divine plan of salvation is illogical is the same as not recognizing the infinite wisdom of God. It is fantastic to suppose that God would place such men on other planets.

Irish societies everywhere are once again raising funds for the I.R.A., e.g., the United Irish Counties Association in New York last week unanimously voted $25,000 for the defense...
...outskirts, to have his eyes tested for new bifocals. (It turned out that he did not need any.) Almost any time a Washington VIP needs medical attention, one of the two big military hospitals is likely to be picked for his care. By Act of Congress, they may admit and treat civilians designated by the Secretaries of Army and Navy. By chance, most Senators seem to go to Bethesda,* most Representatives to Walter Reed-no one knows why. Civilians pay $17 a day for bed and tiptop care (a bargain, but not exactly a giveaway...
