Despite the recent upturn in the stock market, Wall Street these days is hardly the avenue of joy. Most firms are still reducing payrolls, closing branches and trying to sublet excess space. One notable exception is Salomon Bros., the nation's biggest bond-trading house and fourth largest underwriter of securities. Salomon Bros.' broad-ranging business has been better than ever, and the firm has outgrown its quarters. Last week it moved into new, highly computerized walnut-and-glass offices that are more than double the size of those it occupied for almost half a century...

In the middle of the war, the nation raised as much as $540 million a year from the stamp program...
...ecclesiastical court, they come face to face with the ancient Roman concept of jurisprudence-guilty until proven innocent-instead of the Anglo-Saxon juridical concept, which embodies the opposite assumption. However much a petitioner may be convinced that his marriage exists in name only, the marriage bond is presumed to exist unless proved otherwise. The 639-year-old Sacred Roman Rota, the ultimate court of appeals in marriage cases (it annulled only 182 marriages worldwide in 1969), sets the pattern that diocesan and regional tribunals are expected to follow. When in doubt, judges in all matrimonial courts are required...
