After carefully inspecting the mouth of their gift horse, a committee of 15 students from Amherst, Hampshire, Smith, Mount Holyoke and the University of Massachusetts decided last week to accept $25,000 from John D. Rockefeller III. He had offered to pay expenses for a student-faculty study to determine what kind of social-improvement project might be carried out in the Connecticut River valley (TIME, Dec. 21). The students had refused to take the money until they could check out Rockefeller's motives-64 is, after all, quite a bit over...
...event−perhaps the time when the white man uses up all the firewood and moves on forever. He is no less memorable uttering an occasional phrase. When Little Big Man announces that he has a wife, Old Lodge Skins inquires: "Does she show a pleasant enthusiasm when you mount her?" The question seems not lascivious, but full of paternal concern. When he prepares to die, the ancient Human Being chants a prayer and stretches supine before his Maker. Result: nothing.

There is Mount Calvary Cemetery where hundreds of them were buried in mass graves. In Farmington, there is a monument to 16 men killed in Consol No. 9 in 1954.

Out at the entrance to the Llewellyn Portal-the center of the explosions and fires on Nov. 20. 1968-a wooden frame holds a dozen bouquets put there on the second anniversary...
...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...
