Until recently, the lay teacher in a Roman Catholic parochial school was regarded as something of a necessary evil. Thanks to a decline in the number of nun teachers and a rapid growth of Catholic schools, laymen now constitute one-third of the parochial teaching force-and they are no longer content to accept second-class citizenship. In the past six weeks, teacher walkouts have hit three Chicago high schools, while last-minute negotiations narrowly averted similar strikes in New York City and Philadelphia. In the Los Angeles suburb of Mission Hills, 32 male lay teachers of Alemany High School...
...JACKIE GLEASON SHOW (CBS, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). The Great One winds up his twelfth TV season with appropriate fanfare: an outdoor show before 12,000 people at Florida's Gulfstream Race Track, featuring Cornetist Bobby Hackett, Singer Dick Roman, Saxophonist Charlie Ventura, a high diver, a trapeze act, and an aerialist performing beneath a hovering helicopter...
Kettledrums sounded, trumpets blared, and an Irish Guards band played martial airs in the streets as 2,000 invited dignitaries and 500,000 Roman Catholics celebrated the consecration of Liverpool's new Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King on Whitsunday.

The winning design was selected in 1960 by a committee headed by Liverpool's archbishop, John Cardinal Heenan (now Archbishop of Westminster in London), from among 300 submitted. It turned out to have been executed by Congregationalist Frederick Gibberd, 59, the architect and city planner responsible for London's Heathrow Airport and the new town of Harlow...
...born out of O. Henry by Moravia. In one of the most moving incidents, a girl (Catherine Spaak) puts on airs with a boy she has just met, describes Capri as a passe resort, and puts down her wealthy parents as "bourgeois." When he escorts her to her Roman town house, she climbs up the stairs-and then climbs down again as soon as he is gone. After descending still farther, she goes into the janitor's basement apartment, where her father greets her with a curse and a vicious slap across the face. When the boy telephones...
