...Alaska's Democratic legislature was somewhat preoccupied with a superficial study of the three Bs principally because it is a fledgling state facing real frontier problems. The "bingo" dealt with a lottery bill (passed) designed to legalize the beloved Alaska tradition of betting on the exact day, hour and minute of the ice breakup on the Tanana and certain other rivers. The booze bill (soon to become law) requires saloons to close down each day between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m.. instead of 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. weekdays. The boudoir bit was altogether something different. Passed last...
...Republic asked them five questions. Dean Bennett and Professor Schlesinger answered each separately; Professor Pelikan dealt with all five in a single reply. ¶ Catholicism became the dominant religion in the U.S., would the church deny non-Catholics the right to propagate their faiths?

It seems a shame, therefore, that when an opportunity arose to write "well done"-or at least "medium well"-you failed...
...forces her to spend part of her life on crutches. Despite such relative immobility, Author O'Connor manages to visit remote and dreadful places of the human spirit. In Wise Blood (TIME, June 9 1952) and A Good Man Is Hard to Find (TIME, June 6, 1955), she dealt with weird turns of terror and violence as naturally as if she had observed them on her farm. In her new novel, a kind of horror story of faith, the characters are for or against God with a kind of vindictiveness that, the reader sometimes feels, must make even...
