...late Father Vincent Wilkin, S.J., Roman Catholic chaplain at England's University of Liverpool, was agonized by the problem. "There must be a solution somewhere," he wrote, and he left behind him a book, From Limbo to Heaven (Sheed & Ward; $3), in which he tried to puzzle out a solution for the dilemma of the children...
...Royal Birkdale golf course, hard by Liverpool Bay, is a 6,844-yd. string of narrow fairways that twist like green ribbons over the landscape. Under good conditions it is not much of a challenge. Last week, as 108 qualifiers vied for the 101st British Open, conditions were nightmarish. Fierce winds and rain lashed the course for the first two days, washed out play on the third.

...full-scale national universities, redbricks are so besieged that they can accept only one out of seven applicants. Desperately, they are building airy glass-and-steel buildings without a single red brick-centers for chemistry at Leicester and Birmingham, for physics at Hull, for engineering at Liverpool. Entire new universities are due in Brighton, York and Norwich; four more are on paper from Coventry to Canterbury. Last week, Lancashire joined the queue of counties that want their own universities...
