...with the use of birth control to guard against the coming of children. This is, in plain words, what the high-sounding phrase 'companionate marriage' means, and yet this proposal was mentioned as one to which consideration should be given at the recent church conference in San Francisco [Protestant Episcopal Church Congress] and its consideration is being commended by not a few professors in our universities...

The red lips of Miss Redwood Empire, "little fawn" of the Hopi Indians, greeted John Mad Bull of the Karook tribe when he staggered across the finish line last week-the winner of the marathon.
