...Swiss cheese on rye (no mustard) and one banana are his customary lunch, but world-famed Architect Walter Gropius settled for champagne and caviar when some 40 colleagues turned out to surprise him on his 80th birthday. Best surprise of all to the prolific former chairman of Harvard's department of architecture was the appearance of an old crony, Finnish Architect Hugo Alvar Aalto, 65. When the two men were through toasting each other, Gropius opened a letter notifying him of an honorary Ph.D. from the University of Berlin. "Isn't that nice?" he said...
These new Christian cells meet almost never on Sunday and rarely in church. In Chicago's Loop, there are three groups of business executives who meet monthly for lunch, prayer, and blunt, secret discussions of how Christian ethics apply to their office lives. Both the Senate and House of Representatives have groups of Congressmen who meet once a week for a prayer breakfast; so has Texas' House of Representatives. The thousands who belong to the cells of the Roman Catholic Christian Family Movement meet weekly for their discussions and Bible study in one another's houses...

Yet Man Ray wanted fame as a painter...
Northern collegians have in recent years gone South on freedom rides, tried to integrate Louisiana lunch counters, been shot at for helping Negro voter registration in Georgia. Out of such idealistic activism, so strikingly missing in the apathetic '50s, has come a more down-to-earth student project. The newest task is tutoring thousands of Northern Negro children who lack the skill or the incentive to keep up in school. A timely push from a collegian can change their lives and the tutor's as well. Such is the aim of the Northern Student Movement, a loose-knit...
