...four canons living within the Close of Silbury Cathedral, The Canon was short, paunchy, 60-year-old Carmichael, who after 24 years of devoted service embroils the Cathedral in the worst mess that ever rose out of a canon's past. An unbending traditionalist, he fidgets through the first scene with misgivings about the new Dean-a rawboned, sympathetic Cambridge scholar named Mallinson, whose wife, a tall, witty, Virginia Woolf sort of character, is the author's voice for a detached account of Cathedral life. Added to these central characters are the staff of functionaries who make...
...Digest published signed contributions on current affairs, staff-written articles based on newspaper news.

...Avery Rockefeller, Messrs. Giannini & Neylan will speak for National City's largest stockholder, Transamerica Corp., of which Mr. Giannini is the rambunctious chairman. Transamerica acquired its block of nearly 600,000 shares when it sold Manhattan's old Bank of America to National City in 1931. No traditionalist, Banker Giannini, whose Bank of America, N. T. & S. A. (San Francisco) has 411 branches up & down California, promptly loosed a blast in favor of Federal guarantee of bank deposits, which most bankers view with gravest alarm...
