...product of eight months' study by a committee of nine alumni and two seniors, the report wheeled up a potent weapon of attack: money. Last year 94% of the school's 830 upperclassmen ate in the fraternity houses, and nearly half lived there as well. This brought in some $500,000 to run Williams' 15 stately houses. By slashing that income, the college would reduce fraternities to little more than social clubs...
...another Texas tycoon. Germany is politically an ultraconservative and an implacable enemy of unions. His battles against the United Steelworkers Union undid most of the good will from baseball and baton twirling. In 1957 Lone Star was hit by a 23-day strike. While Germany and 770 workers slept, ate and poured steel inside, 2,600 other employees-summarily fired by Germany-picketed outside. Pipelines were cut, bombs thrown, and nonstrikers attacked until the Texas Rangers had to be called in to end the violence. Since then, labor relations have been at least quiet. But, says one local minister...
...Eden, two more pages with seven more words, a drawing of a Rube Goldbergian battle scene, and a final few words.

In case anyone misses the message, the pamphlet closes with a photo of a towering mushroom cloud...
...finding: "From the reasonable medical probabilities, it was homicide." This was perhaps the understatement of the year. Marshall, 51, was the Agriculture official in charge of cotton allotments in Texas. A big (6 ft., 200 lbs.) man who had worked for the department for 26 years. Marshall ate an early breakfast with his wife in their $20,000 home in Bryan, Texas, on the morning of June 3, 1961. Then he climbed into his pickup truck to look over his 1,500-acre ranch in nearby Robertson County. He dropped his son Donald, 10, off with relatives...
Martin de Porres' private life was austere. He never ate meat, fasted completely from Holy Thursday until noon on Easter. In imitation of St. Dominic, he lashed himself three times nightly with a whip whose hooked ends were weighted with iron. Once, when the convent fell into debt, he suggested that his superior could raise some of the money by selling him as a slave; the offer was prudently refused...
