...consumer cooperatives, and anti-bigotry. It used to whiplash Detroit's ranting Father Coughlin, and blamed Boston's Catholic Irish for the long, grubby reign of Mayor James Michael Curley. When gravediggers at a New York Catholic cemetery struck last year for higher wages, and Cardinal Spellman personally led the strikebreakers, Commonweal sided with the workers. When Catholics succeeded in banning Roberto Rossellini's movie, The Miracle, Commonweal's scolding movie reviewer wrote that "The end result . . . has been a semi-ecclesiastical McCarthyism...
Things were looking up last week for West Point's 90 dismissed cadets. Following Cardinal Spellman's lead (TIME, Aug. 27), offering them sanctuary in three New York Catholic colleges, other colleges extended the hand of fellowship. The warmest welcome came from the Point's old football enemy Notre Dame, where an "anonymous benefactor" announced that he was ready to pay the way of any or all of them through college-provided that "they meet Notre Dame's standards . . . that they need such help, and that these young men will not participate in any form...
...bachelor, he married Bronxville (N.Y.) Debutante Muriel ("Honey") Johnson in 1939, now has four children; Bridgid, 12; Richie, 11; Christina, 4; and Richard Emmett Jr., 4 mos.

New York's Cardinal Spellman announced that he had asked the three Catholic men's colleges in his archdiocese-Fordham University, Manhattan College and lona College-to admit the cadets. All three colleges said they would-adding that no cadet would be allowed to play on any varsity team. "To err is human," said Francis Cardinal Spellman, "to forgive, divine...
...part-time novelist, Author Mathew, Roman Catholic archbishop and Apostolic Delegate for Eastern and Western British Africa, is less charitable than his fellow novelist, Cardinal Spellman (The Foundling). A 49-year-old Englishman who started out to be a Navy officer, he shows nearly as much contempt as compassion for his cast of travelers. He wastes no time storytelling. Instead, having his characters where he wants them, he expertly lays bare their frustrations and the cheap ambitions that spur them on. When he brings them down with engine trouble, it is only to show how they disintegrate in adversity...
