...Boston's Richard Cardinal Cushing was a montage of endearing and memorable vignettes. In some of them he was the Populist Prince, handing out miniature liquor bottles at an old folks' home ("Holy water! That's what it is! But don't sprinkle it around. Pour it down!"). In others he was the Court Clown mugging shamelessly in a sailor's hat or a baseball cap. On a cold November day in 1963 he was the nation's own Job, his prayer cracking with grief as he called on the angels to carry...
Last spring Vermont enacted various progressive laws aimed primarily at the state's chief blight: slipshod real estate development (TIME, Sept. 26, 1969). In theory, the laws cure other ills as well. By mid-1971, for example, industries will be required to buy permits to pour effluents into rivers and streams; the fees are scaled to the amount of wastes discharged.

Between the best coach in the Ivy League, Bob Blackman, who will be looking for his 100th victory, and the fanatic supporters who will pour out of the woods to see the game, there are enough stimulants to keep the Indians from looking past Harvard to their game with Yale next week...
Death March. Each day Fuji's 150 paper mills pour 2,000,000 tons of raw waste into Tagonoura's waters. The catch of cherry-blossom prawns, a gourmet delicacy unique to the area, has been halved in recent years. Pulp sludge has settled on the floor of the port, reducing the depth of the channel from 30 ft. to 18 ft.-too shallow for even small freighters...
