Still the focus for the Kremlin's drive was Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty. While he awaited a final ruling on his life-term prison sentence, the Hungarian Communists roared against the "Western warmongers," whose "slander-and-lie campaign" was "attempting to capitalize on the Mindszenty trial." It was clear that the Reds were still trying to establish a working relationship with the Catholic Church-on their own terms. Last week Hungary's Bench of Bishops received a letter-supposedly written by Mindszenty and similar to the one read during the trial-urging an agreement. At week...

HARVARD UNIVERSITY HAS FALLEN INTO THE HANDS OF A BAND OF FAGINS. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE...
Mahogany Exodus. Louis was a natural. He could blow clear and true, hitting the notes hard and clean. He never had to squeeze for a high one. But for three years after he got out of the Waif's Home (his mother got "a big white man" to spring him), he was too busy driving a coal wagon to blow a note. Then one night Bunk Johnson didn't turn up, and Louis sat in for him (for $1.25 a night) at Matranga's joint on Perdido Street; even the great Joe ("there...
