...Courier reaches people that no other paper does, and politicians--whether they are running under the Black Panther or are ardent segregationists--respect it for that, perhaps far more than it really merits. At any rate, any candidate with more than a passing interest in the Negro vote purchased advertising space during last year's campaigns, several tried to court editor Lottman for an endorsement (the Courier has a policy of not endorsing anyone for anything), and a friend of a candidate in next Monday's Montgomery City Commission election primary offered Lottman $500 to print damaging articles...

No movie could match the historic 1951-52 London and Broadway stage performances of Anthony and Cleopatra and Caesar and Cleopatra with Laurence Olivier, her longtime lover, second husband and most ardent tutor.

Martin Gloster Sullivan, 57, who as Archdeacon of London since 1963 has been responsible for the supervision of the diocese's 60 parishes...
...refuses to reverse the decision. What most disturbs supporters of the four priests is their conviction that Gorman's explanation, whether justified or not, skirts another reason for the firing: the interfaith popularity of the Paulists had proved too much for the 75-year-old bishop and other ardent Romanists in his diocese...
