...this action at the end of the Marian Year, Pius XII strengthened the ancient Marian movement, which is spreading with new vigor among Catholics. The theological foundations of Mary-veneration were laid in the first century A.D. In the Catacombs, Rome's persecuted Christians painted pictures of the Virgin, emphasizing her sanctity. Thereafter, a long line of saints-among them Irenaeus, Ambrose, Jerome and Augustine-laid stress on her sinlessness. In a poem, St. Ephrem (300-379) had Mary addressing God: "Let Heaven uphold me in its embrace, because I am more honored than it. Heaven is only your...
...with the well-intentioned artist, played by Peter Sourian, Miss Sielewicz is quite tender and understanding, giving the impression of being inspired, but not inspiring, Sourian matches this performance with, what seems at first (and may be, since it is consistent throughout), a generally plodding interpretation, without verve or vigor.

Whereas the first reaction was rooted in disillusionment, the second grew with vigor as the U.S. coal lobby spread its propaganda. This group emphasized that as ECSC develops European capacity for mining coal, it also reduces the amount exported from the United States. The Senate Committee was seemingly faced with the dilemma of choosing between domestic coal interests and foreign commitments...
Schubert: Symphony No. 9 in C (NBC Symphony conducted by Arturo Toscanini; Victor). The dozenth LP of this masterpiece and the second by the Maestro and his men. This one has the advantages of modern recording techniques, and Toscanini, 85 when he made the recording, shows undiminished vigor (the finale whips along like 60). The fancy album leaflet includes an appreciation by Essayist André Maurois...
