...BISHOP IS UNFAIR TO THIS PARISH, read a sign posted on the lawn of the rectory of St. Barbara's Roman Catholic Church in Vulcan, Mich, last week. Twenty pickets lounged about the rectory lawn. They had been lounging there for six weeks, in defiance of their Bishop Joseph Casimir Plagens, who had ordered their priest of the past 13 years, Father Simon Borkowski, transferred to a seminary in Wisconsin (TIME, Sept. 5).

Upon his death, his executors discovered no less than 3,000,000 words of manuscript, revisions and notes, based upon five trips he made to Palestine, 1,000 volumes of source materials he had read during 39 years.

There is even a standard form for applications by youthful fathers to be declared of age so they...
...literate savages gifted with great engineering ability. But if future diggers explored the broad Mesopotamian valleys of the Euphrates and Tigris, in what is now Iraq, they would find thousands of clay tablets bearing the cuneiform writing of the ancient Sumerians, Assyrians and Babylonians. Deciphering these, the diggers would read of civilizations 3,000 years or more before the Christian era, would probably conclude that here was the peak of enlightenment which their predecessors on earth had reached. So argued Edward Chiera, late professor of Assyriology at the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute, in They Wrote on Clay...
