...Holy Trinity Church, is located in a rundown, ramshackle Detroit slum, where sagging frame houses, tarpaper shacks and old brick duplexes are slowly giving way to warehouses and trucking garages. This is Corktown, once as Irish as its name, and the big white church, which has been in its present location since 1855, still sports a trim of faded Kelly green.

Even the skittish stock market showed some cheer at this prospect. Though the bears on Wall Street had widely prophesied that the skidding market would break through its previous low for the year (reached in March) and continue its drop, they were disappointed. The market went right down to its low, then turned around and rallied. It ended the week at 607.62 on the Dow-Jones...
