Ever since last month's palace revolt at Curtis Publishing Co. forced the resignation of President Matthew J. Culligan, the company has been looking everywhere for a new boss. The directors hired Boyden Associates, a management consulting firm, to help in the search, and the names of outsiders reportedly under consideration got an almost daily workout in the New York press. The list seemed endless: McCall's Publisher A. Edward Miller, former Oil Company Executive Raymond D. McGranahan, former FCC Chairman Newton Minow, and Shelton Fisher, McGraw-Hill publication division president. Then last week the Curtis board...
...peaceful farming village in the Alleghenies, Schellsburg had for more than 70 years supported four churches -St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran, Schellsburg Methodist, Schellsburg Presbyterian, and St. John's Reformed (United Church of Christ). But since World War II, the community's population has steadily dropped. None of the congregations numbered more than 85; none could afford a full-time minister.

Since Oct. 1, when the dissident group demanded the ouster of Curtis President Matthew J.

The man they were out to topple was President and Board Chairman Matthew J. Culligan, 46, brought in by Curtis in 1962 to lead the company back to recovery. Last May, the Times reported, Blair and Kantor had aired their grievances before the board. But when this maneuver failed, the dissidents sought to spread the rebellion. In September, Blair convoked a secret meeting at a steakhouse outside Greenwich, Conn...
...bitterness. Thus the most rousing songs of the best Irish tenors celebrate some irregular victory or bravely borne defeat. And it is just this-the rich lyric feeling of Irish patriotism-that is the real subject of Michael Farrell's evocative novel of the growth to manhood of Matthew Martin Reilly during the worst of the Irish troubles as they rose to a crescendo at the time of World...
