...north bank of the Allegheny just above Pittsburgh's mills. Then one day in April an agile wisp of a man with a soft beard came to live in the parish house with Father Albert Zagar. Scaffolding went up in the church and every day at early mass Croatian women could see how far along the church's new artist had come with his murals. By last week report of his completed work had gone far beyond Millvale and Pittsburgh, had put the parish of St. Nicholas in a class by itself as harboring...

Surely this must mean more to the immediate future of Europe than the almost unavoidable assassination of one who, for all his virtues, has proved a cruel oppressor of a large Croatian minority. Admittedly a human story is always good news value; admittedly also we are here immeasurably remote from the dangers which beset European nations; but surely such a crude outburst of excessive sentimentality is out of place. We cannot find a serious attempt to put these events in their true...
