Pennsylvania's Republican Old Guard, inheritors of the right-leaning tradition of onetime State Chairman Joe Grundy (the inspiration for Grundyism, a byword for stiff-collared conservatism), started off by backing a political nobody: Superior Court Judge Robert E. Woodside, 57.

Second, there is a control over athletic scholarships at each Western college, exercised...
...Foreign Service, about half its students non-Catholic, and graduates officers for the State Department and diplomatic posts abroad. President: the Very Rev. Edward B. Bunn, S.J. Most famous former student (law): Lyndon Johnson. Also in the "Catholic Ivy League," and considered by many Catholics to be academically superior to Georgetown, is Holy Cross, in Worcester, Mass. Forty percent of its freshmen still pursue the prized Jesuit A.B. degree. Holy Cross has 88 Jesuits and 60 laymen to teach 1,827 "wall-to-wall Irish" men students, retains compulsory daily Mass...
