...Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder," intoned the Rev. Claudius Miller, an Episcopal minister, at the wedding last month of Susan Ekberg, an Episcopalian, and Patrick C. Barker, a Roman Catholic. The words were from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, and the wedding took place at St. Genevieve du Bois Catholic Church near St. Louis. A Catholic priest officiated jointly with Father Miller, and Susan promised that she would bring her children up as Catholics...
...photography may be a dying art, but on one front it is still going strong-at the Italian villa occupied by Robustious Swedish Cinemactress Anita Ekberg, 32, and her American actor-husband, Rik Van Nutter. Anita these days could practically play the mountainous billboard heroine of Boccaccio '70 with out any trick camera work, and, bugged by shutterbugs, she understandably responds with whatever comes to hand.

And it isn't really funny to hear line after line that develops a double meaning from a single idea...
...acre that yielded 46 bu. of corn in the 1950s is now good for 64 bu. To demonstrate their axiom that $1 worth of fertilizer adds $3 in crop value, salesmen like to plant test plots along heavily trafficked highways in farm areas. Says Marketing Director J. P. Ekberg of Olin Mathieson, which operates the world's biggest fertilizer plant just outside Houston: "When the corn is twice as high as the corn growing next to it by the Fourth of July, people can easily see what a difference fertilizer makes...
