Apart from their greater concern with preserving religion in the family, the Radcliffe respondants diverged from Harvard in their more marked devotion to religious practices, specifically individual prayer and attendance of religious services. Yet almost surprisingly, the girls are no more inclined than the men to "regard active connection with a church or synagogue as essential to religious life." Of those students who indicated some belief in divine presence, only 30 per cent at either college consider church connection necessary for a full religious life...
...took my prayer book to the contest," gasped the striking girl in the white evening gown, "but I never thought I'd win it." Last week Sophomore Nancy Street, 19, was indeed voted Miss Indiana University in the first beauty contest she ever entered. Real reason for her surprise: Nancy is a Negro, the first of her race to become a beauty queen on the Indiana campus.

"If any hymn was ever proposed to the NATO Council," said one official, "it would have a good deal more trouble getting approved than any note to Khrushchev...
...Prayer of Rescue. Yet Shackleton would not be dissuaded, and Alfred Lansing has crisply re-created one of the most audacious assaults that Antarctica ever defeated. Shackleton sailed from Buenos Aires in October 1914, with 69 dogs, no radio transmitter, and a motley crew of 27 volunteers. He put his faith in Endurance, a barkentine (144 ft. long, 25 ft. wide) with a reinforced hull and 350-h.p. auxiliary steam engine. Three months later Endurance was in the Weddell Sea, a vast, bowl-shaped scoop in the Atlantic coast of Antarctica, and there the ice packs began kneading...
