Scientific tests of cloth and bone proved to the church's satisfaction that it was in deed St. Felix's head. The skull hidden in the other bust was identified as that of his friend and fellow 4th century martyr, St. Nabor. Tradition tells that the saints were Moorish soldiers in the army of the Emperor Diocletian, stationed in what is now Milan in about A.D. 303. Under repeated torture they refused to renounce their Christian faith. At last they were both beheaded, and their remains were eventually buried in Milan's oldest Christian cemetery. Turned over...
Harry had a glancing blow for Dwight Eisenhower ("No Eisenhower veto ever built a dam, or helped a farmer"), but his choicest epithets were reserved for Vice President Nixon: "Tricky Dicky Nixon is cut from the same cloth-don't make any mistake about that. Nixon is against the small farmer, against small business, against labor, against public housing, against public power. Come to think of it, I don't know what the hell he is for.

News staffers have come to know better than to tailor their stories to Knowland's political cloth. In the first local election held after he returned from Washington, Oakland Democrats were dumfounded to find that their side got equivalent play with the Republicans.

Produced as a fiber, it promises to make the best no-ironing blend of cloth. Laverne's "invisible" chairs are made of the plastic, make any room look bigger, less cluttered. Esso is experimenting with colored highways made from a blend of asphalt and tinted polypropylene. With the routes of a cloverleaf indicated by color and with highway signs to match, U.S. motorists would lave less...
...reporting from the Democratic National Convention. You have falsely asserted that one of my stories was a sample of how "the press sometimes even appeared" to help push the Kennedy bandwagon along, and that specifically a story about possible rules changes "was obviously made up out of whole cloth." That story described a tactic, later abandoned, whereby the anti-Kennedy forces considered a rules change to prevent delegations from changing their vote after the initial roll call of states. Although Senator Johnson denied any part in the rules-change fight, the proposal for a change had been announced openly...
