...cutting of the plaque, a three month job, is being performed by a stone-cutter crew of eight of which ANDREW BARATTA, pictured above, is one. Difficulty in working on the rough marble of which the plaque is made prevented completion of the project this fall, as originally scheduled...
...Advocate shades off into mediocrity. There is another long anecdote about Europe by Hona Karmel called "The Old Ignacy." Her material is rich, but she has a nasty habit of letting her writing smother it; when Miss Karmel talks about coffee, she calls it a "black fragrant fluid."

Two other students stretched a rope across the auditorium, did acrobatics...
...Christmas morning, Night Watchman Andrew Hislop, long used to such sounds, came upon a startling sight: there were marks on the carpet indicating that a heavy object had been dragged down the altar steps, through the transept, past the memorial to Dryden and the graves of Robert Browning and Lord Tennyson, to a side door near the Poets' Corner. Hislop rushed to a phone, called the police. "The Stone is gone," he cried, "the coronation Stone...
