...MIDDLE EAST. The Cambridge-taught Archbishop in Jerusalem, the Most Rev. Angus Campbell Maclnnes, governs a 3,500,000-sq.-mi. archdiocese of 150,000 Christian Jordanese, Lebanese, Turks, Iranians, Egyptians, Sudanese and Greeks, and operates one of two seminaries which expressly seek to serve all branches of the communion-St. George's College in Arab Jerusalem. Maclnnes' church is in communion with one branch of Christianity involved in an unedifying project: the zenophobic Arab Evangelical Episcopal Church, which plans to drop 50 psalms from its revised Prayer Book because they mention Israel...
...found that some funds deliberately seek salesmen with little or no savvy in the securities business, recruit a large number in the armed forces to sell to buddies or subordinates, and have their salesmen play to the "fear, pride and patriotism" of prospective buyers. One brokerage firm that also specializes in selling training materials for fund salesmen-Kalb, Voorhis & Co.-advises them to use the "accidentally-on-purpose" technique: when filling out a fund contract, write in an astronomically high monthly investment-perhaps $250-to start the buyer "thinking...
...President Kennedy's press conference last week, a newsman asked him whether he would "seek to abrogate" state antimiscegenation laws.

W. preferred to seek his fortune above the ground. Soon the diminutive (5 ft. 2 in.) drummer was coursing the veld in horse and buggy, selling life insurance to gold miners and Swazi chiefs for the U.S.'s Equitable Life Assurance-and earning a record $30,000 a year in commissions. He set up his own insurance company, then turned to real estate...
...best performance of the summer. The first act, despite some judicious cutting by Everingham, dragged at times, and the opening of the second act, in the bandit's hide-out in the Sierra Nevadas, was too stiff and ludicrous. But in the third act, when all the unleashed forces seek and obtain resolution, the Players were smooth, polished, and sparkling. Etain O'Malley, who is not voluptuous enough to be the vamp she attempter earlier, was superb as she first disposed of one eager lover and then skillfully trapped Tanner...
