...layman trained in theology-Contestant Ingersoll last week churned out statements to document her own vision of the matter. The real issue, said Sue, is what happens when a Roman Catholic finds the charismatic (supernaturally graced) side of the church at odds with the canonical, and his private view in conflict with the church hierarchy's. Most non-Catholics, says Sue, believe that in such a conflict, the individual Catholic must "blindly and stupidly" knuckle under. But that is not true, and to demonstrate it, she wanted to stay in the contest-partly because, she felt, Senator Jack Kennedy...
...indeed a pleasure to know that there are some people with sense enough to view this so-called "battle" with an open mind. I am a Catholic, and I know that if I were to vote for a presidential candidate, his religious affiliation would not in the least affect my vote. I believe, and I am quite sure my opinion must be shared by many, that a man's political shrewdness is a thing that is governed by his own knowledge and education, and if this person is capable of doing his job, he will do it regardless...
...crashed to the ground barely 150 ft. from the blockhouse where 55 scientists and technicians were watching (it was more than an hour before they could come out safely). From an observers' stand a quarter of a mile away, photographers got what may be history's best view of the business end of an oncoming missile.

Last year some manufacturers refused to let a 19-man Japanese delegation view their new lines at the Brighton Toy Fair because "they come here to copy our designs and then undersell us with cheap reproductions." British textile manufacturers complain of deceptive Japanese labeling. But, says one trade official: "Let's face it. Their goods have improved tremendously in quality, and they no longer have to copy our designs." Basic British complaint: Japanese wages are only 35% of the average British wage...
From the Ashes. Unlike many of his predecessors, Blough is also a man with a world view of steel. Though the U.S. steel industry is fat this year, Blough asks himself whether the steel industry can afford a wage hike in terms of world-market trends. His answer is no, and his reason is the great change that has taken place in world steel production. At World War II's end, the U.S. accounted for 54% of the world's steel production. But the war, in cruelly efficient terms, had proved a blessing in disguise for many foreign...
