...have long-range financing yet, but we will if our cleaning project works out," says Brother William Dooling. Since October, 40 Holy Cross students have received city licenses to sell liquid cleaning products (wax, shampoo, polish) door to door. As a franchised distributor, Holy Cross nets $3,000 a month after paying commissions to the student salesmen. Eventually, the brothers expect students from other local schools to join in selling the products on the same basis...

His public wit runs to doubletalk and the invention of nonsense "end" products: after-shaving mints, dietetic shampoo, reversible mayonnaise. "He thinks Cameroons are some kind of cookie," she reflects bitterly. But they marry anyhow and live together until their nine-year-old son dies of lingering leukemia...
