...Qualifications. Justice-designate Fortas, 55, has a remarkable set of qualifications for the high office. He helped put himself through Southwestern College in Memphis by playing the violin at dances. From Southwestern he went to Yale Law School,* where he won the coveted editorship of the Yale Law Journal. His record at Yale was so outstanding that he was appointed an assistant professor immediately after graduation in 1933, commuted from New Haven to Washington for four years on New Deal assignments before taking a full-time Government job in 1937. He became Harold Ickes' Under Secretary of the Interior...

According to Ethel Banks, the number of U.S. churches offering healing services has grown steadily, from 14 in 1947 to 460 today (about 95% of them Episcopalian). The order now has 4,200 members in 85 countries...
...Typically, the sheet was eccentric (for some reason, Bennett was amused by a letter written by an "old Philadelphia lady" who wanted to know how to change centigrade degrees to Fahrenheit; the letter ran, without explanation, in every issue until Bennett died 18 years later).
