...have a different idea of what song their cash registers are ringing. A North Carolina bowling-alley proprietor argues that "white people just aren't going to bowl with colored people-they don't want to use a ball that Negroes have been using." John Carswell, a Chapel Hill drugstore owner, contends that desegregation of his lunch counter would cause "incidents," and many Southern hotelmen profess to fear that if they admitted Negroes, their white trade would go to competitors...
...voting by the 80 cardinals who had gathered there to name Pope John XXIII's successor.* But no one anticipated a long conclave-and the expectations were not wrong. At 11:22, smoke began billowing from the rickety metal chimney that led upward from the Sistine Chapel, where in a ceremonial stove the used ballots were burned. Twice the day before, a few puffs of white had first appeared, but then the smoke had turned a disappointing black-the signal that no Pope had been chosen.

Even more John-like in spirit was Pope Paul's first public address, delivered in Latin before the assembled cardinals in the Sistine Chapel.

...refugee in 1939. But it was not until eleven years later that he began experimenting with his shell structures and landed his first big commission, the Cosmic Ray Pavilion in University City. Since then his umbrellas and shells have popped up everywhere-as factories, housing projects, private homes, chapels or as shelters for the marketplace. The basic shell forms are only an inch or two thick, but they can be modified, tipped, inverted, varied almost indefinitely. In earlier days, Candela seemed to accomplish this feat of engineering almost by intuition; he gave the impression of looking down on those...
