...Sheehy, looking businesslike to South American churchmen, who still wear their soutanes in the street, visited papal nuncios and hierarchs, talked with them in Italian and French, found everywhere that Latin American prelates look to the U. S. hierarchy for social and cultural leadership-a leadership which has been slow in materializing...
Penn's medley team has not bettered 3:13 this year, its distance men are uniformly slow, and the 400 relay team has yet to break 3:50, so aside from Williams and Daughterty not much opposition can be expected. The Red and Blue has won one and lost one in league standing so far, beating Dartmouth, 40 to 35, and losing to Columbia 46 to 29. The Philadelphians vanquished Lehigh 60 to 15, while Princeton conquered the same team...

He moved his friend, slow-moving Sir Thomas Inskip, from the post of Minister for the Coordination of Defense, where everyone agreed he had been a first-class failure. Chosen to succeed him was Lord Chatfield, recently retired from active service. It was perhaps the most popular Cabinet move Mr. Chamberlain has ever made...
Before the development of Alnico and other "age-hardening" alloys like it, permanent magnets were all quenched steels. In the newer alloys "magnetic hardness" is obtained by slow, controlled cooling. They provide more magnetic force at lower cost. The increased power of the Alnico magnet shown last week, designed by Physicist Wayne E. (for nothing) McKibben, is due to a steel sheath around it, which efficiently concentrates the magnetic flux very much as an optical lens focuses rays of light...
...Park house, a five-story Georgian mansion, where she lives with her husband, Alan Cameron, former Oxford don, now children's educational director for BBC. In this ritzy, rumbling house (the Underground passes directly underneath) The Death of the Heart three years ago got off to a slow start because Author Bowen spent most of her time on stairways talking to the servants. When an inter-room telephone system was installed, the novel went swimmingly. Working seven hours at a stretch, she typed about 1,000 words...
