...growth of a new species of newsman, the full-time local TV critic, who on many papers matches judgments daily with such syndicated TV pundits as the Herald Tribune's John Crosby, the New York Times's Jack Gould, Hearst's Jack O'Brian-and often comes out ahead. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Bill Jahn, who runs monthly popularity polls that frequently draw more than 1,000 returns, tagged Jack (Dragnet) Webb and Lawrence ("Champagne Music") Welk as coming stars months before they received national recognition. The Los Angeles Mirror News Columnist Hal Humphrey...
Fifth Columnists. Though many Catholic teachers worry about "Catholic absenteeism in scholarship," they often urge students into the intellectual life for the wrong reasons. The student is supposed to be a sort of fifth columnist with a double duty to perform. "He should use scholarly method to introduce into [the] sciences Catholic teachings which are really derived outside of them, and negatively he should refute, in scholarly fashion, the work done by those whose findings apparently are hostile to the faith." For too long, says Weigel, the American Catholic has regarded himself as a' member of a "beleaguered community...

In 1947 he was traded to the Boston Red Sox, where he hit as well as he ever had, showed a remarkable talent for making friends with terrible-tempered Ted Williams, and only fell into disfavor when he opened his mouth once too often. In the fall of 1950 he called some of his teammates "moronic malcontents" and "juvenile delinquents." He was promptly traded to Cleveland. In 1953, just as soon as they could get a catcher to take his place, the Indians sent Birdie to the Cleveland farm in Indianapolis to start his career...
Schloss Herrenchiemsee (through September) got into the festival business years before the war with a series of candlelight concerts at the imposing castle, which is often passed off as a medieval relic, although it was actually built by mad King Ludwig II of Bavaria only 70 years ago. The specialty at Schloss Herrenchiemsee (near Munich) is low-calorie chamber music, e.g., Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Haydn, Boccherini, Dittersdorf, played by a string quartet beneath the castle's crystal mirrors and chandeliers...
