...teaching on marriage. They were a threat not only to the church, but also to the well-being of society at large . . . Let's not advertise the Albigensians as simon-pure Christians, which they were not, at least in principle. A fraternal prayer for Father Du bois, a "shepherd in the mist." (THE REV.) HENRY P. COSGROVE, J.C.D...
...Dallas, two sons of Croesus-rich Oilman H. L. Hunt bought a half-interest in Wildcatter Samuel L. Shepherd's water-flood-oil property in and around Oklahoma's Nowata County and his process for leaching uranium out of the ground with water (TIME, Jan. 17). Estimated price: $400,000. The two Hunts agreed to pay all future costs of development and exploration. Said 28-year-old N. Bunker Hunt: "It wasn't too long ago that we were still mining sulphur like we mine gold. Then someone thought up the idea of melting it and forcing...
...state of things; in Greece an adequate dowry is a far more important prerequisite to marriage than a pretty face. In Salonika a weary housemaid recently made the trip to the altar after having scratched for seven long years to raise the $500 demanded as a marriage settlement. A shepherd from the slopes of Mt.

The Sans Souci insouciantly proceeded to run a red carpet from its lobby to the street, redecorate a 16-room wing as the imperial suite, paint the Shah's coat of arms on every royal door in sight. Hardheaded U.S. Marine Corps Commandant Lemuel Shepherd Jr. declined the hotel's request to supply ammunition to a local Marine artillery battery for a 21-gun salute (it was no state visit). Then the harassed protocol men asked the Navy for help. The Navy designated a Miami-docked destroyer to boom the salute, but the ship...
Patent Pending. At week's end, nobody knew how much uranium was in Nowata County-or whether Sam Shepherd might have discovered a practical method of mining uranium by waterflood and filter. Others have tried such a process before-and failed. But it has never been tried as a byproduct of another operation, such as oil producing, that already pays the basic costs. In any case, Shepherd has applied for a patent on his method and is getting ready to ship about ten tons of filter sand from his holdings to AEC for processing...
