...that men of the cloth are getting more pay and prefer it that way; they would rather have cash in the pants pocket than 10% off on the pants. Moreover, they increasingly find the "clerical discount" demeaning. "I used to use a railroad discount," says the Rev. George Reck, pastor of Houston's Zion Lutheran Church, "but I always felt the conductor was saying to himself, 'Here's another chiseler.'" And chiseling can work two ways, suggests Father George McCormick of Trinity Episcopal Church in Miami: "When I'm offered a 10% dis count...
...week. It was the greatest experience I've ever had." > Chicago's Donald P. Moore, 35, was a top-of-his-class (Illinois, '56) candidate for Wall Street, but chose to work for local indigents instead.

Scrambling out of bed, Knowland sent his breakfast dishes flying in all directions. Six months later he was off to the Army, soon was bound for Europe as a public information and military government officer. It was in the summer of 1945 when Major William Knowland, drinking coffee in an Army cafeteria in Paris, picked up a copy of Stars and Stripes and read that he had been appointed...
...spend a great deal of time with "clubbies," it is difficult to see how the clubs can affect their morale. The clubs may be a symbol of hypocrisy, but this does not mean that they are the root of all prestige-consciousness. When one reads assertions as reck-less as these, it convinces him that id est, the Cambridge Review, is a good example of how un-repressive the University as Superego actually is. In spite of its pervading irrationality, however, i.e. has stimulated some thought, as well as disgust. It might be called a Good Thing, badly done...
