...spectacular success of the Music Center has spread Buff Chandler's fame as a fund raiser across the land. Recently she was asked for her formula by three representatives of the seven-building, $45.5 million John F. Kennedy Civic, Educational and Cultural Center for Nassau County, L.I., also designed by Welton Becket, which will begin to rise late next year...

"No combination of 20 U.S. bishops has raised as much as Cushing has in nickels and dimes and half-dollars for the mission," says one bishop. Most of Cushing's donations come from what he calls "the mighty mites" of average Catholics, although he has a few tame millionaires whom he taps regularly, such as the Jewish couple who own Rockingham Park...
