Catholic publications have suffered most in recent months. Sheed and Ward, once among the most flourishing of Catholic book publishers, has retrenched to a skeleton staff and a spare list of new books. Commonweal, the most intellectual of U.S. Catholic weeklies, has appealed to its readers for funds to survive. Herder Correspondence, a scholarly international Roman Catholic monthly, died in June. Ave Maria, a brightly edited but faltering magazine, tried to keep 105 years of publication history alive by changing its name, content and format; but the replacement, A.D. 1970, expired two weeks ago after only 18 issues. And despite...

...results in the creation of tiny, uneconomic parcels of land.

The tactic failed. Immediately after the call to order, 30 to 40 dissidents took over the platform and microphones, elected their own chairman, and turned the forum into a farce. While the panel doctors looked on as helpless captives, the forum dispatched a delegation-consisting of spokesmen from the Medical Committee for Human Rights, the National Welfare Rights Organization and several Women's Liberation groups...
...part ever written." Although this is Miss Le Gallienne's first appearance at the Festival, she brings to it well over a half century of professional stage experience. She manages to convey all the warmth and wit and wisdom of this aristocratic lady who is fully aware of her ward's virtues and her son's defects. One cannot begin to describe what she can do with a line like. "But I do wash his name out of my blood." In her performance there is not the slightest hint of labored delivery; all the words flow forth with seeming effortlessness...
