However deep her compassion for the poor, Mother Teresa nurses no hatred for the rich. She joyfully shows a scrapbook of pictures of orphans she has placed in affluent homes in the U.S. and Europe. But she is also alert to the perils of contemporary civilization. "Our intellect and other gifts have been given to be used for God's greater glory," she says, "but sometimes they become the very god for us. That is the saddest part: we are losing our balance when this happens. We must free ourselves to be filled by God. Even God cannot fill...
...boasted more than 330,000 subscribers. In another sense, that world seemed to have no boundaries. It played host to Alexander Woollcott, Parker and Robert Benchley, and published the poems and short stories of almost every writer worth a second look.

No, they are not. But their piercing candor made them memorable young tourists. Mischievous too. Jackie accompanied Lee to a singing lesson in Venice with...
...fierce fighting last week on Cyprus were thousands of tourists. A11 together, in the course of a week, almost 10,000 people were evacuated by British and U.S. ships and planes. Tales told later were more than enough to fill a "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" scrapbook...
