...dingy, fourth-floor Manhattan offices resemble a countinghouse out of Charles Dickens. There is no city room rush, no Teletype staccato. The 27 staffers are mostly elderly women. Yet the weekly German-language Aufbau (Reconstruction) is one of the biggest (circ. 30,129) and most influential foreign-language papers in the U.S. Edited by stocky, effervescent Dr. (of Law) Manfred George, 66, Aufbau is an outstanding example of a paper that has bucked a 50-year-long decline in the U.S. foreign-language press.* This week, as it celebrates its 25th anniversary with a Waldorf dinner, Aufbau can and does...
...National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is a vast Romanesque-Byzantine tribute to the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception, patroness of U.S. Roman Catholics. The idea of building it was first broached in 1912 by Bishop Thomas J. Shahan, fourth rector of the Catholic University, who lies buried in the new shrine's south crypt. He received a blessing for the project (and $400) from Pope Pius X, and in 1920 the cornerstone was laid at the site in northeast Washington, at Fourth Street and Michigan Avenue...

The varsity's three scores all came in dramatic fashion--a fourth down, finger-tip catch of a pass by end, Paul Crowlcy, an 84-yard run by halfback John Ederer, and a pass interception by Fritz Drill...
...sawing back and forth, the two teams went in the fourth quarter still tied, 0 to 0. Booth completed a pass deep in Crimson territory, and seconds later drop-kicked the ball between the uprights to give Yale a 3-0 margin, which soon became the final score. After three years of struggles, Booths had finally seen his Elis defeat a Harvard eleven...
Also at stake is the Big Three title. The Crimson seeks its first win in the round-robin competition since 1954, when the varsity beat Princeton, 14 to 9, and upset Yale, 13 to 9. The Bulldog team will be trying for its fourth Big Three championship in five years...
