...appears to me that Bishop Topels "poverty binge" has taken him from depending on the people he serves, the "74,000 souls" in his diocese, to the U.S. Government. He returns his salary to the diocese, distributes the $25,000 from the sale of the bishop's home and the money he receives for the jeweled symbols of his office, but accepts his monthly Social Security check. That is very princely of you, Your Excellency...
...fight of Burlington, Vt., against the threat of the suburban mall [Nov. 13] compares with a buggy manufacturer obstructing the sale of autos in 1910. It is understandable, but hopeless. Most downtown areas, whether they are renovated or not, are now obsolete as shopping areas. They just don't give customers the convenience, hours and consideration they demand...
...wine lovers around the world, a momentous annual ritual is the wine auction in the Burgundian city of Beaune. Technically, it is a charity sale: for the past 127 years, the auction has been the principal source of support for the Hospices de Beaune, a hospital that has been in continuous operation since 1443.

The real difference is in fancier packaging, splashier promotion, and the fact that the swankier cosmetics are made in limited quantity for sale...
...come to the Crimson to make a statement as to his philosophical beliefs; he came to obtain models for a project which his magazine hopes will be profitable (believe me, they would not print it otherwise). Likewise De Beers' advertisement was on its face commercial, aiming at the sale of diamonds. The link to oppression is in both cases through the use to which the proceeds will be put--the maintenance of an enterprise which survives economically largely because of oppressive elements and assumptions in society. In both cases, those who respond to the advertisements may not themselves be oppressed...
