...trim, they are a friendly lot, bound together by the pleasures and perils of their craft. But when the competition starts, Bud Werner is ready to battle his buddies, is even willing to flout the maxim-especially fitted to skiing-that pride goeth before a fall. "If I say so-and I see no reason why I shouldn't-I expect to get some of the medals," he says. "In fact, I shall be greatly disappointed and even surprised...
...Business loans at leading New York banks fell by $235 million last week; Chicago dipped $38 million, though both areas are still ahead of 1957. In Detroit, where layoffs have pushed unemployment to 12.4% of the labor force, bankers report that they have more money than business. Boston bankers say the same...

In the first eleven months of 1957, net operating income of the twelve lines dropped 49.8% to $56.5 million on total operating revenues of $1.4 billion.

As a musician, though, Lanza owes perhaps too much to his early conditioning as a delivery man for a wholesale grocer...
...Artist as Priest. Schooled by Jesuits from the age of six, Jim was "God-intoxicated," and Stanislaus was keen enough to recognize that Joyce remained God-intoxicated though he changed gods. The work of art became his religious passion. It was this, says Stanislaus, that prompted Jim as a stripling to say to the mature Yeats: "I regret that you are too old to be influenced by me." Argues Stanislaus: "What my brother said, or meant to say . . . was in plain words that Yeats did not hold his head high enough for a poet of his stature, that he made...
