...basketball, least of all his enemies, can afford to call Belmont Abbey's McGuire a jerk. By all rights, his adopted school should be the smallest in smalltime basketball: its bandbox gymnasium has only 500 permanent seats; players must clean their own uniforms. But under Al McGuire, Belmont Abbey has developed almost overnight into one of the nation's best small-college teams. Last week, winning two games out of three in Virginia's Quantico Tournament, Belmont Abbey's boys boosted Al McGuire's won-and-lost record to a gaudy 67-14 since...
...Secrets. At Abbey these days they call McGuire "The Fox." Riding the bench as though it were a bronco in full buck, McGuire baits officials ("I must hold the Carolina record for technical fouls"), indicates uncontrollable wrath by rising ominously from his seat and taking off his coat. Behind him, as if on signal, Abbey rooters stand to doff theirs in sympathy.

In rebuttal, representatives of U.S. publications contested the notion that Canadian magazines were suffering unduly, noted that between 1950 and 1959 the ad revenues of Canadian magazines rose from $17 million...
...ethereally sang what seemed to be an authentic, slightly dissonant Latin cantus, but was in fact one of Orff's own haunting evocations of the medieval spirit. Then a procession of children filed across the starlit snowscape and knelt in adoration, while the witches took a disheartened curtain call and skulked off as the head hag consoled: "Humans, if they are put up to it right, will crucify anybody...
