...front porch of Lorna Shuster's guesthouse, where a few survivors of the old Atlantic City gather, the only thing exchanged is conversation. The name of the place is actually the Montpelier Guesthouse-it is at 7 South Montpelier Avenue-but a passerby would never know. Someone stole the sign a few weeks ago, and Shuster, whose detached, philosophical nature hides the fact that she is suffering from hypertension, does not appear in a hurry to replace it.

Indications are, however, that Congress will go along with the ruling...
Died. George Nauman Shuster, 82, Roman Catholic journalist-educator and president of New York City's Hunter College (1940-60); in South Bend, Ind. In 1951, Dr. Shuster admitted men for the first time as regular students to Hunter, once the world's largest public college for women. He wore many hats, editing the progressive Catholic weekly Commonweal for twelve years, working for UNESCO, which he helped create, and teaching English at Notre Dame, where he spent the last decade of his career as an in-residence savant and special assistant to the president...
