Byron De La Beckwith fancied himself a real Southern gentleman. He dressed with casual care, always bowed deeply from the waist when passing friends, punctuated his drawl with soft "suhs." It therefore came as a consider able shock to some of his Greenwood. Miss., acquaintances when "Delay" (after his middle names) Beckwith, 42, was charged last week with the slaying of N.A.A.C.P. Leader Medgar Evers. Said Greenwood's Mayor Charles E. Sampson: "We are just stunned. I don't think he's the type. He would always greet you with a smile...
Last week Gray's confidence disintegrated into shock. A routine annual audit, somewhat more extensive than usual because of a change of command in the credit subsidiary's hierarchy, turned up jarring discrepancies. Auditors from Ernst & Ernst, which had been examining the books for six years, found that $15 million to $18 million of the receivables consist of noncollectable bad paper. This will cut Whirlpool's aftertax earnings as much as $10 million for the year in 1963.

Yet when the cardinals marched in procession toward the Sistine Chapel last Wednesday to begin the conclave, there were whispers of "il Papa, il Papa" as Montini went by. The cardinal heard; he looked up in shock, and signaled for the bystanders to keep still...
...Unexpected Way. His goal from then on was to "produce poetic shock by putting heterogeneous but real things together in an unexpected way." Unlike Salvador Dali, he did not want to paint objects that did not exist in nature; nor did he want to tell stories or bear messages through the use of symbols. And always he was determined to remain loyal to what he felt to be the dictates of composition. One of his pictures, for instance, started out as a painting of a chandelier. It then became a painting of a nude reclining under a chandelier surrounded...
