Never in Public. His name was Harry Gerguson alias Arthur Wellesley alias Count Gladstone alias Prince Michael Alexandrovitch Dmitry Obolensky Romanoff, cousin and occasionally half brother of Nicholas II, last Czar of all the Russias. After preparing at Eton, he had been to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Heidelberg, Oxford and Cambridge. Since, in fact, he was born in the New York area of indeterminate parentage, he always refused to speak Russian in public. But he was scrupulously elegant, with a camel's hair accent and a mill-racing brain. He lived on both coasts of North America and made occasional...
Were it not a highly useful poor boys' school, costing less than $800 a year for room, board and tuition, Texas Agricultural & Mechanical College (8,057 men) might best be known as the only campus in the world to combine the mythology of St.-Cyr, Heidelberg and the Alamo. Often called Texas Athletic and Military, it hatches ferocious football players and in both World Wars had more Army officers than West Point.* It is the nation's largest military college and the only land-grant college that still bars women. To some it seems to be dying...
...Congregational Council, and the Lutheran World Federation have agreed to send observer-delegates, who will attend all public and some private sessions of the council.

"Let's look for the good in secularism." Son of a clergyman, Shinn studied English literature at Ohio's Heidelberg College, theology at Union. Refusing a ministerial deferment, he entered the Army in 1941, was taken prisoner during the Battle of the Bulge, and ever since has had little patience with theology that is "remote from the affairs of the people." Shinn says: "We hear a lot about dialogue between Catholics...
With its echoes of the fox trot, the blues, the shimmy, and with its bold melodies and dramatic rhythms, the score remains as compelling as ever. At last week's Heidelberg revival, the orchestra of only 30 players was heavy on winds rather than strings, managed to re-create with remarkable skill the tinny, strident sound of oldtime jazz bands. The opera's cast of criminals, procurers and prostitutes were re-creations of the fantasy Americans dreamed up by Socialist Brecht. Their anarchic world was a caricature of turn-of-the-century capitalism...
