...cautious trial flight for Field, whose father has spent untold millions keeping the Chicago Sun, PM and other ventures aloft. For only $70,000 (his own), Field IV got all the preferred stock in American Family. The common stock will be split four ways among: 1) Grimes's massive (4,900 stores) Independent Grocers' Alliance, 2) Mullen, 3) Field IV, 4) Carl J. Weitzel, vice president and treasurer of Field Enterprises, Inc. An advisory board of 47 educators and clergymen will try to help the magazine aim a little higher than its biggest rivals...

...peasants of Gagliano crowded around the exile with friendly curiosity, helped him find lodgings, shook their heads sympathetically. They pitied him for being out of civilized circulation; they and their forebears had lived thus for untold centuries-since the legendary days when Prince Aeneas and his Trojan followers founded the Roman race. "We're not Christians," the peasants gravely told Painter Levi; "Christ stopped short of here, at Eboli"-the point at which the highway leaves the blue Gulf of Taranto and loses itself in Lucania's arid wastes...
