...article, the Rev. Neil G. McCluskey argues for Government aid to parochial schools in providing for bus transportation, textbooks and health services. He contends that these services can be extended without violating church-state separation.

...from being deterred by such formidable monthly fare, readers of Scientific American magazine dote on it, spend an average of four hours and twelve minutes reading each issue, and constantly demand more of the same.

"Self-regulation," said Rome's Il Tempo, "is without doubt the best medicine," went on to absolve itself from the Pope's accusations. Most other leading papers followed suit...
...Abraham Lincoln worries about the Constitution and tells two stories of doubtful humor. Most of the speeches and conversations of the great sound authentic; only the hero, Montague-Sinclair, is unreal. He is, nevertheless, an engaging figure to the connoisseur of the absurd in fiction-a kind of Candide without Voltaire...
