Britain's Commonwealth, like all families, is harder to hold together as everyone grows up. Last April when Britain's prime Minister Harold Macmillan decided to call a conference of his fellow P.M.s throughout the Commonwealth, there seemed to be plenty for the family to talk about. Mother Britain's new defense cutbacks, its flirtation with the European Free Trade Area, and the economic and political aftermaths of the Suez incident (which threatened to break up the Commonwealth) were all family matters requiring friendly discussion. But when the time came to discuss them in London, half...
...been more beset with sectarianism. Soon after St. Francis' death, his simplicity and fervor living on in his followers caused a profusion of Franciscan-rule sects and splinter groups-Spirituals, Moderates. Celestines, Observants, Intransigents. In 1517 the Conventuals were constituted a separate order; they permit their monasteries to hold property (most other Franciscan property is held and administered by the Holy See), and they wear black habits, shoes and birettas.

Reed was succeeded by Justice Charles Evans Whittaker, who did not participate in last week's decision. Harlan switched sides with the candid admission that time had given him "an opportunity for greater reflection.'' And Frankfurter, his mind finally made up. voted with last week's majority (but. like Harlan, only insofar as it affected capital cases...
...company shake-up and the "durable fire" of his staunch and lovely wife's faith in him help Steve to reforge his faith in business and himself. Author Swiggett understands the paternalistic embrace in which the large, modern corporation holds its employees-but he vastly exaggerates it. His notion that the corporation makes or unmakes the man is on a par with all the determinist devil theories of history which hold that every evil of human life flows from the capitalistic "system," or from the machine, or from sunspots...
