...never write again!" his literary agent said. But seven years after disappearing behind Gethsemani's walls, Merton produced The Seven Storey Mountain. The autobiography of conversion sold 300,000 copies in less than a year (more than 3 million as of 1984). That book was followed by 60 other volumes of meditations, poems, essays, criticism, history, translations, drawings and photographs.

In David Storey's Home (1970), John Osborne's West of Suez (1971) and Harold Pinter's No Man's Land (1975) and in the films The Heiress (1950) and Long Day's Journey into Night (1962), Richardson found his ideal role: as the haughty burgher whose tragic flaw lies in realizing...
...their last meeting, two months ago, the Huskies outshot and outmuscled the Crimson in a 5-1 rout. Northeastern's top forward line of Patti Storey, Shelley Spencer and Carol Latorre scored three times against the usually stingy Harvard defense, and B.U. netminder Kathy Scanlon stopped 20 Crimson shots in that game...
