...Gabriel's functions was to preside over Paradise, and this he shared with Michael. The resonant titles of the Archangel Michael read like a blast on the horn of resurrection: chief of the order of virtues, chief of archangels, prince of the presence, angel of repentance, righteousness, mercy, sanctification . . . and, by decree of Pope Pius XII in 1950, the patron angel of policemen. In painting, his main roles were two: driving the rebel angels down to Hell (Michael replaced the fallen Lucifer as chief angel of Heaven) and weighing the souls of the dead, as in Memling...
WIDE RECEIVERS. J.D. Hill, Arizona State, 6 ft. 1 in., 197 lbs.; and Elmo Wright, Houston, 6 ft., 195 lbs. Hill has all the makings of the ideal pro receiver: the speed, the moves, the spring, the hands and the power to blast free after a catch. Whippet quick, he runs the 100 in 9.3 sec., an advantage he used to stunning effect in returning punts and kickoffs tor the Sun Devils. Hauling in 58 passes for ten touchdowns this season, Hill was the leading scorer in the Western Athletic Conference. Wright, as they say, "is one of those guys...

American scientists are now reported to be researching a "neutron" bomb which could render large areas uninhabitable for brief periods of time in addition to wiping out all those in the vicinity of the blast. C. L. Sulzberger writes in the New York Times that the bomb's "short-lived radiation effects could destroy an enemy's troops without causing unacceptable damage in cities or other areas." In other words, the once-proven "urbanization" theory could be successfully applied without all the fuss and expense of repeated bombings. Contaminate the countryside, and you are bound to cause a mass exodus...
...Elizabeth Skarzinski is familiar with tragedy. Her grandfather was killed in the worst disaster in U.S. mining history, the blast at Monongah that killed 361. She signed the agreement, but still hopes for the recovery of her husband's body: "I just bought two plots at Mount Calvary Cemetery. Even if they don't find my husband, I'll have a marker there for him, and that'll be our place." Women whose husbands were closest to the blast fear that their bodies were cremated and want the agreement's assurance that the shafts will...
