...children this week there were few toys, little tinsel-only one Christmas tree (at the church) in the whole community. But the 300 Negroes of Teviston had a promise of bounty that seemed greater than all the growing things in the green valley: fresh water that would run to every house in Teviston from the deep well on the empty lot. And standing over the well like a monument, was the gift (sold at half price by one company, installed at no charge by another) that they had given to each other-the pride of the new Teviston Water District...
Even when the old bitterness subsided after World War I, France's traditional anticlericalism-a strain that runs from Voltaire to Sartre-remained just below the surface. In 1945, when De Gaulle set up his postwar government, he, though himself a devout Catholic communicant, curtly withdrew the wartime subsidies that Vichy had set aside for Church-run schools.

The co-sponsors of the Papers, Yale University and the American Philosophical Society, aided by a grant from LIFE, expect the project to run to 40 volumes appearing over the next 15 years. For the past 5½ years, Editor Leonard W. Labaree, Farnam Professor of History at Yale, and his associate, Whitfield J. Bell Jr., have combed libraries and personal collections from Leningrad to Hawaii for any letter or document written...
...Gain. In Effingham, Ill., Mayor Paul Taylor (salary: $800 a year) advised future office seekers to "start at the top and run for dog catcher" (1958 earnings...
