...last month, and otherwise establishing friendlier relations with the Kremlin. Fortnight ago, the Communist newspaper L'Unita exaggerated Pope John's recent Pacem in Terris encyclical as "an appeal for peace based on nuclear disarmament." This prompted a pro-government newspaper to crack that the Reds were suddenly "more papist than the Pope." In fact, the Vatican is quietly backing Fanfani's Christian Democratic-Socialist partnership, though publicly it has steered a neutral course; this time, for example, parish priests are not saying that to vote for the Socialists is a grave...
...school was deep in the red, and Griswold smoothly made himself a crack fund raiser. He more than tripled endowment to $375 million, launched a $69.5 million capital-funds campaign, put $75 million into 26 new buildings, gave Gothic Yale a bold new look with daring designs by Eero Saarinen and other top modern architects. To emphasize liberal education, Griswold gave Yale College control of all 4,000-odd undergraduates, including the once separatist engineering students.

Office wags crack that in another couple of generations, the Star will need no outside help at all. But the Star needs all the help...
...counselors, to spot the client who is so disturbed that he should become a patient, and to refer him elsewhere for prompt treatment. But in practice, virtually every client has been so relieved by talking things out with his consultant (and sometimes his minister as well) that an imminent crack-up has apparently been averted. For those with more severe upsets, scattered over New Mexico's sparsely settled acreage, Psychiatrist William Sears goes barnstorming in his own plane, visits each district at least once a month. In three years the three consultants have handled 1,800 cases...
