...defenders, plowed in and sank a difficult lay-up shot. Moments later, with the ball in his hands once again, he started to turn for a hook shot. Hit hard by an N.Y.U. player, he fell heavily to the court, but on the way down he somehow managed to arch the ball toward the basket with a flick of his powerful wrists. As he lay flat on his back, Cincinnati's Oscar Robertson watched the ball drop through the hoop. His expression was casual, as if he had expected it all along. The 14,587 spectators in New York...
...Republican Senator Thye, 62, two-term Eisenhower Republican incumbent, had a great personal following of fellow Scandinavians, fellow Lutherans, fellow farmers; the D.F.L.'s challenger Gene McCarthy, onetime St. John's University economics professor and ten-year Congressman, was 1) a Catholic, and 2) an all-too-arch egghead type from St. Paul who might just get massacred by Ed Thye in the farm counties.

He is the main character of A Twist of Lemon (Doubleday; $3.95), a Madison Avenue novel by Adman (Dancer-Fitzgerald-Sample, Inc.) Edward Stephens, who writes in a style that is alternately arch and fallen arch. But Author Stephens' protagonist would instantly be on knife-in-the-back, wife-in-the sack terms with the huckster-heroes of half a dozen other new novels. The salient feature of this season's supply of advertising and public-relations fiction, all written more...
...important efforts were in these areas: ¶ COMMUNISM. When Pius XII was born, the Communists had nowhere won political power; at the time of his death, 52,552,000 Catholics were living in Communist-ruled countries. Again and again, he ringingly condemned Communism as an atheistic and materialistic evil, arch enemy of God and of human rights. In the Communist-ruled countries, Pius XII had to find a harrowing way between the extremes of a tough anti-Communist line that might have destroyed the church through reprisals and a collaborationist line that might have destroyed the church just as surely...
