...Luke Appling, 55: election to baseball's Hall of Fame. Famed, in approximately equal measure, for his 1) batting (.310 lifetime average), 2) versatility (he played first, second, shortstop and third), and 3) hypochondria (his teammates called him "Old Aches and Pains"), Appling loyally toiled for the Chicago White Sox for 20 years without ever playing on a pennant-winning team. "This makes up for it," he said...
Lyndon Baines Johnson does not do things by halves, and Susan Wagner, 53, wife of New York's mayor, found it out first hand. In St. Luke's Hospital for a checkup, she was the pleased recipient of a surprise getwellogram. "When I learned you were in the hospital, I thought about the many long hours you spent in being hospitable to me and mine in 1960," wrote L.B.J. in horizon-to-horizon Texas style. "I realize I was one of those who probably contributed to asking you to do too much. Lady Bird joins me in praying...
...popular demythologizers of the infancy gospel! Which is more truly bread, the insipid white loaf one buys in the supermarket or the eucharist?

If the hermeneutical scalpel is to be wielded in public, one must use great care lest he convey to the little ones that Scrooge was correct when he said...
...course, none of this has much to do with the real birth of Jesus of Nazareth around 7 B.C.* Many Protestant scholars, and even a few Roman Catholics, regard the infancy narratives in Luke and Matthew as too contaminated by myth to be considered reliable history. And even the more conservative scholars who accept these accounts as historically plausible agree that most of the famous Christmas legends are unsupported elaborations of the spare, precise biblical reports. In a new volume of reverent debunking called Born in Bethlehem (Helicon; $3.50), Dutch Theologian H. W. van der Vaart Smit borrows the conclusions...
...tougher action, no doubt, was the fact that among Lovett's staunchest supporters is a group of Atlanta's richest and most influential people who also happen to be pillars of the Episcopal Church. An example is wealthy Lawyer Philip Alston Jr., a senior warden of St. Luke's parish. Since 1959 he has personally been responsible for raising more than $350,000 for Lovett's building program-including one gift of $100,000 that was contingent upon the school's remaining closed to Negroes...
