...Jesuit weekly, America, Robert A. Graham, S.J., added a blast of Catholic wrath at the Protestants' position. The World Order Conference's resolution, wrote Graham, is a stand "to puzzle and dishearten those who expected something more worthy of the cause of peace to which the delegates were dedicated ... In its silences and evasions, in its carefully phrased ambiguities and obvious inconsistencies, this would-be message of hope is a ghastly monument of abandonment. Its high words about the love of Christ and its vision of a world community willed by God sound fearfully hollow against its deep...
...trend of the past half century is allowed to continue, a picture of the yard fifty years from now will dishearten these who feel a strong attachment to what remains of Harvard's once-gracious heart. Originally the site of undergraduate dormitories and class-buildings of Georgian structural style, this confine has been transformed by the recurring needs of the past 300 years into a vast architectural pudding, spiced with neat tid-bits such as Boylston and Weld.

She shows Randall and his valet (Arthur Treacher) how to sing a lullaby, goes sightseeing in Hongkong and voices a few proverbs, which detective picture addicts will recognize as from the Chanese. Sample: "A child without parents is like a ship without a rudder." When Susan Parker...
...team" of the first magnitude, Minnesota had gained by rushes the astounding total of 2,418 yd., while holding its opponents to a paltry 533. But not even that yardage figure gave a full-sized picture of Coach Bernie Bierman's jerseyed juggernaut. To prevent overconfidence and to dishearten and weaken its rivals, Minnesota has adopted the stratagem of giving the ball to its opponents during the first half by consistently kicking on second down. Not until the second half does the Bierman team open up with its prodigious line drives, cunning spinners, adroit passes. This style of play...
