When Jesus Pimentel stepped from the ring in San Antonio last week after fighting for what was billed as the North American Bantamweight championship, the city's Mexican-American majority had two reasons to be pleased. Not only had the Mexican contender won, but the fight also netted $1,000 for an unlikely beneficiary: Holy Cross High School, a parochial school that serves San Antonio's poorest Chicano neighborhood (median family income...
...high school connected with a prizefight? The answer goes back to 1968, when San Antonio's parochial schools were in deep financial trouble -like others across the U.S.-and Archbishop Robert Lucey halted all diocesan subsidies for three of the city's twelve Catholic high schools. One of the three schools was located in a wealthy white neighborhood, and it easily survived by raising tuition. Another, situated in a lower-middle-class area, gave up and closed its doors. It is now a warehouse...
...minority. As Christmas threatens from Tokyo to Toledo, Messiahs are busting out again all over the world. The work is being staged, illustrated with color slides, tinkled through by tiny orchestras, blasted over by huge ones, shouted by great singers and squeaked by small ones. In New York and San Francisco, people are paying to sight-read the choruses at "Messiah sing-ins," and at the White House, President Nixon heard a 30-minute sample.

From now on, he will operate more in the public eye. Last week Bank of America directors chose "Tom" Clausen, 46, to become president and chief executive of the world's largest commercial bank...
...packaging from cosmetics counters instead of drug shelves. It was introduced nationally in August, and sales in the first two months climbed to $250,000-a total that would please any marketer of a new drug or cosmetic. It has had little trouble moving into better-known stores, including San Francisco's I. Magnin, Washington's Woodward & Lothrop and Brooklyn's Abraham & Straus. Philadelphia's Strawbridge & Clothier declined to advertise the product publicly but included 75,000 brochures for the item in the monthly statements that it mails to customers...
