...TIME, Feb. 23, you say: "Devout Catholics fell to their knees at the radioed sound of the Pontiff's revered voice." I beg leave to differ. In the first place, I have known all sorts of Catholics: good, bad, ardent, and indifferent; American Catholics and Catholics of varied nationalities. Naturally, they all respect the Pope, but there is not a one of them, even the most pious, that would even dream of falling on their knees at the sound of the Pontiff's voice.

Should the president of Nicaragua be miffed at some careless statement of an army officer, would we get down on our knees and pray for his pardon? Can you imagine this country debasing itself just because some petty potentate of some little two-by-four country was peeved...
...Lowell House bells differ from ordinary carillons in that they do not conform to any modern musical scale. Tuned to unaccepted pitches, they cannot, strictly speaking, be called a carillon. Experts describe them as "a group of bells". When such chimes are rung, the deep bass bell is kept constantly pealing while the ringer manipulates levers and pulls ropes to ring the remaining bells. This is the work of Adrianoff, of Astoria, Long Island, an American citizen living in this country for 20 years, who will take up his abode in Cambridge...
