...behave in church is something which has to be learned. Not only outsiders but often confirmed believers are appallingly ignorant of church etiquette. It is common practice among Anglicans and Episcopalians to "kneel" by simply bending their heads. Noisiest, least well-behaved of all Catholic churchgoers are those in Eastern Orthodox nations. For U. S. Catholics, and for such of their friends as might be interested, two useful guides to church behavior were circulated last week...

Mainly inhabited by Puerto Ricans, with a peppering of Cubans, Spaniards, Filipinos, Mexicans, it is one of the poorest, noisiest, brightest, muskiest, most musical and least written-about foreign quarters in Manhattan...

Over its 230 miles of track bed, 8,755 electric trains clatter daily on split-minute headway, carrying well over 1,500,000,000 passengers every year, more than three times as many as ride each year on all the big U. S. railroads put together. Until this week no subway passenger had lost his life in a train crash in more than two years. Then one morning a closing car door caught a woman's hand...
