...subordinate, Auxiliary Bishop John J. Dunn. Bishop Dunn sought his superior's approval of a plan: for the New York archdiocese to seize upon and dramatize President Roosevelt's inaugural sentiment, "When there is no vision the people perish." A mass meeting would be held on Passion Sunday (April 2) at Rockefeller Center. An honorary committee of the familiar Catholic-Protestant-Jew type would be arranged (Morgan J.

...story concerns a hopeless cripple, who is in love with his beautiful wife, but who married her before the airplane fell. She pities him, and all her love is for his virile brother. She shows the innocence and lack of premeditation of her passion by conceiving a child; but before the crippled husband--far too crippled to be a father--finds aught amiss, he awakes one morning, dead. Everything would have been all right had not the perspicacious nurse discovered that an overdose of sleeping powders had killed him. This Nurse Wayland had loved the handsome cripple...
