...Bless you, Mrs. Cronin; you have compiled the best list of contributing causes to teachers' headaches that I have seen in a long time," wrote Sister Mary Ransom, dean of Louisville's Nazareth College, in a not entirely convincing reply. Sister Mary's points: 1) questionnaires are an attempt to find out which children suffer from unhappy homes and thus enable the church to offer help; 2) play costumes are costly and so too are the increasing number of lay teachers needed in growing parochial schools; 3) mission collections teach children to make sacrifices; 4) Mrs. Cronin...
...Harris, a heavyweight (6 ft., 195 Ibs.) from Cut and Shoot, Texas, has fought 22 professional bouts and won them all, but he has never been seen either on TV or outside Texas. Last week, to stir the nation's interest in the new contender for the heavyweight crown (he is due to fight Champion Floyd Patterson in Los Angeles on Aug. 18), TelePrompTer Corp. offered a Texas junket to some of Yankeeland's top sportswriters.

On the floor, traders surged around trading posts, rushed madly from booth to booth waving order slips and shouting at the top of their lungs. The heavy trading was touched off by reports of a rich drill hole in a copper vein discovered more than a fortnight ago in the Mattagami area of Quebec by New Hosco Mines Ltd., a smalltime mining outfit...
...svelte blonde in a black sheath dress, with mink stole draped casually over her right arm, stopped during an inspection of a new apartment house on Los Angeles' Wilshire Boulevard last week and gushed: "It's the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen. But, I mean, it's even nicer than our house." Near her, a trim, wavy-haired man gravely replied: "Thank you, madam." For Norman Tishman, 56, president of Manhattan's Tishman Realty & Construction Co., the compliment was no surprise; his company had planned the building to be the most luxurious cooperative...
