...dishes, there is a purifying bath, or mikveh, in which men immerse themselves before holidays and Sabbaths, and women after menstruation and childbirth. A staff rab bi conducts services at the hotel's own synagogue three times a day, and the chief work of hairdressers at the Debo rah's beauty salon is setting the wigs of Orthodox women who usually crop their hair and keep it covered after they marry, as a sign of modesty...
Roger M. Blough, 59, board chairman of U.S. Steel Corp., first tested his mettle playing guard, tackle and end for Susquehanna University, Selinsgrove, Pa. That was in the rah-rah '20s when Susquehanna lost the big ones by scores of 91-0, 87-6, 61-7. In December, Blough will receive the National Football Foundation's 1963 gold-medal award for "outstanding contributions to the game." How come?

...rah-rah college towns can match the unbridled devotion of Green Bay for Lombardi and his doughty athletes. There has not been an empty seat in City Stadium (capacity: 38.663) since 1959; the only way anyone gets to see a game is by buying a season ticket-and even that, like joining a country club, takes years of waiting. Green Bay's youngsters save their pennies in kiddy banks in the shape of green-and-gold-suited Packers. Portraits of Packer players hang on soda fountain walls; restaurant diners eat their soup off "Know-Your-Packers" doilies. The pastors...
