Spencer's The Greatest Show on Earth, a collection of photographs illustrating economic laws; the reviewer was baldish, bearded Critic Ernest Boyd.

For the jovial, baldish Jesuit, this was a congenial assignment. Father "Mike" Ahern, 60, is an accomplished Catholic publicist. Head of the departments of chemistry and geology at Weston College, New England Jesuit training college, he is also a teacher of philosophy, science and theology at Boston College, and, since 1929, speaker on Boston station WNAC's "Catholic Truth Period...
