Collective Eyes Sirs: TIME, Aug. 21, states, "The press forgot that Snite and his bride were married by a Catholic priest, that the Catholic Church forbids the marriage of an impotent person" (italics mine, J.

Lithuanian-born David Colony-who had soldiered at 16 in Allenby's hell-for-leather army in Palestine, who had muttered against church pomposity and mustiness, who had been unhappy as curate of Philadelphia's swank Church of the Good Shepherd-was ready to deal with the problems of St. Luke's unemployed parishioners. He told them to go into business for themselves. That first group raised $11,000 and within...
