...Francis X. Bellotti told 200 Harvard-Radcliffe Young Democrats last night that he rejected an offer of a $30,000 campaign contribution in exchange for "serious consideration for a judgeship" for the contributor...
Boston sees only half of what Cushing raises. He is a generous contributor to the Vatican, and offered to pay for a U.N.-like simultaneous translation system for the Ecumenical Council (the Pope declined).

Died. A. J. Liebling, 59, freewheeling journalist and longtime New Yorker contributor, who turned his sometimes loving, often acid pen to food (no one could pack away more), prizefights (he once fancied himself a not-quite Hemingway-class boxer), World War II accounts of the North African campaign, countless articles on the Wayward Press, and one notable dissection of Chicago: The Second City, whose cry, Liebling insisted, had changed from "Lemme at him" to "Hold him offa me"; of pneumonia; in Manhattan...
