...this point a Christ Church parishioner named Leonard M. Sive took over. Sive, an advertising man, had long been wondering what could be done with consumer appeal in church advertising instead of the customary institutional copy. In collaboration with Rector Morris Arnold he worked out a series of two-column, 12-in. display ads for Cincinnati newspapers. Each ad carried a picture of Christ Church's Rector Arnold, and the invitation to "come in and talk it over." Sample headlines: "DO YOU FEEL NOBODY NEEDS YOU?"

Religious Emphasis Week at the University of Mississippi was rapidly approaching, and the committee on arrangements thought it had a solid list of guest speakers. Among them was the Rev.

The Falangist Arriba editorialized: "Blood is running again among the youth of Spain," blamed "armed liberalism motivated by Communism." But Spaniards were not deceived. The government announced that Dean Torres López had been fired, while Rector Laín Entralgo was reported ousted. Seven student ringleaders were reportedly exiled to places 200 miles from Madrid. The names of the youths, all respectfully referred to by the title of Don, showed them to include the son of one of the founders of the Falange, the nephew...
