Judge Eyman retorted that he had not forced Korpa to do anything: "There was no obligation on the young man to accept the grace and clemency which I offered him. If he had not accepted the probation terms, he would have gone to jail. However, in accepting the offer of the court, he undertook to comply with the requirement to regularly attend his church. In my opinion, this was a reasonable requirement . . . I'm not a Catholic, but I would do this whether the boy was a Hindu, a Methodist or a Mormon...
Nominally a Baptist (her father left the Catholic Church as a young man), Sue Ingersoll became a convert to Catholicism 2½ years ago. Now Sue painstakingly undertook to explain to her former fellow Protestants that a Catholic "cannot be pushed around," is free to rely on his own conscience in matters outside "direct canonical concern."

They were agents for U.S. cigarette companies, anxiously collecting their competitors' new smokes to rush them back to the laboratory for analysis. Undeterred by the cancer reports-cigarette sales are running 5% ahead of 1958-U.S. cigarette companies have taken off on a scramble to grab a bigger share...
...comic strips, the professor tries not to get too far out for his young readers, and he has lately taken to conning scientific journals and newsmagazines for topics ("I've become positively immoral about tearing pages out of magazines on airplanes"). Spilhaus and his artist, Carl Rose, dish out lightly sugared fare about the ionosphere and how it is used as a global "radio mirror," about the winds and how they flow round the earth, about harvesting fish with electric currents...
