...Your Nov. 28 coverage of "Luther in English" is much appreciated. However, there were two important omissions: the St. Louis Concordia Publishing House is an arm of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod; Professor Jaroslav Pelikan, associate professor of historical theology in the federated theological faculty of the University of Chicago, is general editor for the volumes being published by Concordia...
After stepping out of the Truman Administration late in 1951, Nelson Rockefeller returned to the national political scene in 1952 to campaign for Dwight Eisenhower. He moved back to Washington as chairman of the Advisory Committee on Government Organization, which was made an official arm of the Executive Department by the new President's first executive order.

Speech & Contradiction. Ambition-driven Mendès-France not only had little time to get started, but he was also the chief target of systematic hecklers from the right and left, including the strong-arm Poujadists.

But Frankie is a man who carries "a 40-lb. monkey on [his] back," and the only way to knock the monkey off is to get a shot of joy in the main vein. He kicks the habit when he does a stretch in stir, and swears off cards, too, when he comes...
