...Before the war," said Wellesley graduate Tamaki Vemura, director of Japan's Y.W.C.A., "I was once arrested and questioned seven hours because I had said in church, 'We are all sinners.'" Socialist Secretary-General Inajiro Asanuma told of how he would be arrested, questioned and then released at one station, only to be picked up and questioned again at another. Such memories were apparently a good deal more painful than the current lawlessness. With the sole exception of the English-language Japan Times, not a single major newspaper rallied to Kishi's side...
...Seminary, he was selected to continue his studies for the priesthood at the North American College in Rome, where he was ordained in 1909. For the next 13 years he served his church as an educator, briefly had a parish in Youngstown, then was called to Rome as Spiritual Director of the North American College.

Says Worcester Museum Director Daniel Catton Rich: "St. Bartholomew was done just before Rembrandt entered into his early success in Amsterdam and began to turn out rather slick, social portraits. Its deep, inner power foretells the late, introspective Rembrandts-an interesting link between his youth and old age when he painted some of his greatest works...
...wealth of choice makes it possible for the single-minded consumer to buy a car or appliance that is practically custom-made-but he inevitably pays for the privilege. "Imagine the poor woman who walks into our refrigerator showroom to buy a refrigerator," says Maurice Leifler, executive sales director of Chicago's Polk Brothers discount chain. "She looks around and sees 55 different models. Where does she start?" The buyer is so baffled that she often does...
