Modern, sterile John Hancock Hall is a far cry from the Haig, a tiny, dim-lit supper club across from Los Angeles' plush Ambassador Hotel. Yet, with just a few numbers from his low pitched saxophone, Gerry Mulligan, a lean-faced, red-headed young man with a "new sound," proved last night that he isn't far from home...
...While a lean and hungry look does not always denote financial need, the Council has little more basis for administering its program. An applicant just tallies up his income and his expenses to enter the competition. Denied access to Financial Aid's files, the Council can only hope these tallies are accurate.

...most influential leaders of U.S. Protestantism is a lean, white-haired man with bushy black eyebrows and a startlingly soft voice. Dr. Samuel McCrea Cavert's parish has, from his youth, been almost the whole U.S.; as much as any other man, he has been responsible for the movement toward unity among the nation's Protestant Churches. Last week, at 65, he had a new job-tending the garden of unity among the Protestant and Orthodox Churches of the world...
