...secular music for sacred occasions, just as Martin Luther had used love songs and barrack ballads for some of his chorales. He even turned out such mundane pieces as a song on the joys of pipe smoking or a cantata about the glories of coffee. But the attitude behind all of his music was, as he noted in his manuscripts, "Deo soli gloria" (to God alone the glory...
Exactly one year after it began, the eleven-union strike against the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner is technically a stalemate. Publisher George R. Hearst Jr., 41, grandson of the crusading William Randolph, still directs a staff of strike breakers inside his boarded-up building. Behind other barricades just a block away, some 50 strikers still gather each day to dispense food and subsistence checks, plot strategy and pounce hopefully on every rumor of Hearst's troubles.

...into canceling. They persuaded 200 news dealers to stop selling the paper, smashed hundreds of Herald-Examiner vending machines. In all, circulation dropped from 730,000 to 540,000, at a cost to Hearst of about $2,000,000.

They leave behind a remarkable record for the Republicans to try and match-as well as many difficult problems for them to try to solve...
...years as the steel industry's chief spokesman, U.S. Steel Chairman Roger M. Blough has become one of the best known American business men-if not the most conspicuously successful one. When Blough steps down next month at the mandatory retirement age of 65, he will leave behind an industry with a stodgy image and a company with a spotty record. In his tenure, U.S. Steel's share of domestic steel sales has slipped from 30% to 25%. Last week, hoping to reverse that trend sharply, the world's largest steelmaker picked a new management group...
