...only men who used to carry hand bags were medieval couriers, New Guinea natives, mailmen, doctors, photographers and Truman Capote. These days, with trousers slim and pocketless and Ed wardian jackets cut to hold no more than the wearer, men are finding it ever more difficult to make room for even a credit card. Billfolds, eyeglasses and loose change? Forget them. Unless, of course, a fellow could get away with carrying a handbag...
...content to be a political kingmaker, Franklin D. Roosevelt fancied himself a prince-of-the-church maker as well. He lobbied successfully for Francis Spellman's appointment as archbishop of New York, and in 1939, when Chicago's George William Cardinal Mundelein died, F.D.R. had his hand-picked candidate for the nation's largest archdiocese. This time he failed. Chicago Auxiliary Bishop Bernard James Sheil, the Roosevelt choice, was bypassed because he had irritated too many others inside and outside the church.

...devotes an astonishing proportion of its energy to attacking allegedly misleading textile-and fur-labeling practices. It has questioned a fur label on which "South West Africa" was abbreviated to "S.W. Africa" and a "90% wool" label on a blanket that was 89.9% wool.

Helped and encouraged by the U.A.W. leadership, Detroit automakers have hired thousands of Negroes during the past two years. Many were among the 60,000 hard-core unemployed who have gone to work in auto plants. On the other hand, despite mounting shortages of skilled construction workers, the A.F.L.-C.I.O. building unions admitted only 5,168 Negro apprentices last year, 3.9% of all new apprentices...
...other hand, the question of how the research will be used is one that needs to be pursued honestly and with a grounding in reality. The argument is made that since the Cambridge Project is funding "basic" research, there is no sure way of determining how whatever applications may eventually arise from a given research project will be put into use-and that therefore science should be allowed to run its course. But while it is true that the outcome of theoretical or advanced research is impossible to forecast with great accuracy, that does not mean that we can only...
