Under this goad of a stern Baptist conscience, Nelson Rockefeller listened attentively to Bible readings with his breakfast. In a ledger he entered, as had his father and grandfather, his 25? weekly allowance, extra income from raising rabbits or catching flies (at 10? a hundred), and the uses he made of the money. Mother Abby Aldrich, less stern of conscience, balanced obligation with games, art and music. When she heard that Columbia University's new progressive Lincoln School mixed students from townhouse and tenement and put a premium on curiosity, she enrolled Nelson and his younger brothers...
...Jordan, retirement from practice at the Lahey Clinic and New England Baptist Hospital will not mean taking off a starched white coat: she has not worn one since internship, has favored trim dresses and suits that emphasize the briliant china blue of her eyes.

Since our Governor has asked us for patience and endurance in this time of trial...
...serious than the presence last year of federal troops. The marshals "will be met in many situations with a cold fury that did not exist before." When a group of Arkansas' Presbyterian ministers protested the closing of Little Rock's four high schools (TIME, Sept. 22), Southern Baptist Faubus accused them of being leftists, "brainwashed by left-wingers and Communists." Not even a stern protest from Methodist clergymen could make him change his mind. He heated up the air waves of an Arkansas TV network with the charge that the Supreme Court decision promises "the risk of disorder...
