Money, Miracles. Author Graves admits to more and stronger literary quirks, prejudices, theological theories and odd bits and pieces of information than seem possible in one man. Samples: Milton's L'Allegro is not much of a poem-Robert Frost has written better; Saint Paul was dishonest with money; Jesus did not die on the Cross but may or may not have turned up in Rome in A.D. 49; bath water in Australia "goes widdershins [contrariwise] down the waste-pipe"; the "concept of the supernatural is a disease of religion," although, paradoxically, Graves-who claims to have risen...
...room of his failing Penn-Texas Corp.. directors bounced Silberstein from his two top jobs and turned them over to a pair of "neutral" directors who swing the power balance on the board. Although Silberstein held on to the presidency, his chairmanship of the executive committee went to Milton C.

Instead, for eight razzle-dazzle years in which they both became U.S. living-room fixtures, TV made him a prisoner of comedy. Last week, after two years of well-paid retirement as a television personality,* Berle, 49, finally went back to his "real talent...
...Bicker procedure are obviously reared. It's the oldest truth in creation that there is evil in the universe and it is as a realistic schooling in the world's folly and wickedness that Bicker is usually defended. In letting her students, after months of reading Plato and Kant, Milton and Thoreau, pass complacently through the two weeks of Bicker, Princeton may well be defeating her own highest efforts at cultivating an operative system of values, and inducing in her sons the refined sort of ethical blindness which tactfully refrains from seriously applying standards of what is right in adjusting...
