...Julian Huxley's "New-Time Religion" [Dec. 7] will have to wait for our grandchildren. As existing religions gained their momentum in an age of ignorance, they still flourish in an age of misinformation. We live in our own little worlds of delusion, content with our processes of reasoning, which only consist of finding arguments for believing our own notions of truth. Huxley's New-Time Religion offers no heavenly crown, or elated promises of a glorious hereafter. His is but a religion of the real world, a religion where the individual would be free from the spiritual...
...first," Lewis wrote the U.M.W. membership with the familiar flourish, "your wages were low, your hours long, your labor perilous, your health disregarded, your children without opportunity, your union weak, your fellow citizens and public representatives indifferent to your wrongs."

Besides, there was the powerful new force of Japanese competition. But Chen Che Lee, a wealthy young Shanghai cotton manufacturer, fooled the experts. In 1946, with $1,500,000 borrowed from friends, Lee established South China Textile, Ltd., the first major textile mill in Hong Kong. Over the past decade, problems have been over come, and from Lee's daring example has grown an industry that this year will ex port $110 million worth of garments...
...helped against a Notre Dame team that has abruptly become a major power since Quarterback George Izo returned to full health. Capping its 20-19 defeat of Iowa the week before, Notre Dame disposed of nationally ranked U.S.C. 16-6 to end a dismal season (5-5) with a flourish...
