Obispo v. Obispo Maximo, Sixty years ago Dennis Dougherty ("Dinny" to his parents, Patrick and Bridget, Irish immigrants) was a schoolboy of grimy Girardville, Pa. who spent his vacations as a breaker boy in the coal mines. At 14 he passed the entrance examinations for St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Overbrook near Philadelphia. Told he was too young to enter, he spent two years in a Jesuit College in Montreal, returned to St. Charles, was admitted to the same class he would have joined in the first place. In 1885 Dennis Dougherty went to Rome's North American College...
...falls on Oxford, and the grass is always green and many flowers are still in bloom and the air is brisk and healthy and noses are cold and red. And so here I sit in my room (nearly the size of the Dunster Common Room) with only a small coal fire for heat.

Peoples Gas Light & Coke Co. is principally concerned with selling gas to Chicagoans, gas made from coal and gas piped in from the Southwest. From this company James Simpson retired in 1935 because he felt management of gas arid electric companies in Chicago should be distinct. Last week, three days before he was 63, handsome, grey-suited Utilitarian Simpson went before a special meeting of Edison stockholders, asked for permission...
...bulk of its funds should be devoted to achieving success there at this time, not scattered to sow Communism in other countries. These two points of view are generally accepted today as representing "Trotskyism," on the one hand, and Stalinism on the other. At the time of the British Coal Strike (which precipitated the British General Strike of 1927), its leaders cried, "Thank God for Moscow!" and received through the Bank of England from the Soviet State Bank some $2,000,000. That shower of gold was "Trotskyism." The British General Strike fizzled. Stalin, the practical vowed to stop wasting...
