...Marshal Rodolfo Graziani's "Terribili" legions in Libya had turned terribly on their British attackers and terribly smashed them to bits. They had taken 50,000-100,000-150,000 prisoners. They were marching triumphantly eastward again along their Via Vittoria (Victory Road) to Sidi Barrani in Egypt. Roman history had been made...
...these reports. The "Terribili" were not marching eastward. The High Command did not stress the fact that they were running westward, farther and farther into Libya. The prisoners were not British, they were Italian-31,546 of them (so far counted), including 1,626 officers. It was not a Roman victory, it was another shocking Roman rout, a fierce continuation of last fortnight's Battle of the Marmarica in which, after slicing through Capuzzo (in the line of forts guarding Libya's eastern border), savage little squadrons of fast British tanks and Bren gun-carriers whipped around...
Most tony U. S. prep schools-such as Phillips Andover and Exeter, St. Paul's, Groton, Hotchkiss, Lawrenceville, Kent-are Protestant, in spirit if not by direct church affiliation.

In the hills of western Connecticut, not far from Hotchkiss and Kent, he started Canterbury School, where well-to-do Catholic boys, without neglecting their religious training, might prepare for Yale, Princeton, Harvard and Williams with the same swank as their Protestant contemporaries. Last week this Roman Catholic Groton...
England's Established Church has little to do with nonconformists on the one side, Roman Catholics on the other. But last week the Church of England's two primates, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, made history by jointly signing a letter to the London Times with Arthur Cardinal Kinsley, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, and Dr. Walter H. Armstrong, Joint Secretary of the Federal Council of the Free Churches. Winston Churchill has avoided any statement of war aims, so the churchmen set up "five standards" as a post-war plan to guide statesmen. Like the Sermon...
...bond which is growing between Protestants and Catholics throughout the Reich, where heretofore the two creeds have been divided as in few other lands by bloody memories of the Thirty Years' War. When 30 Confessional pastors were arrested in Prussia, slender, steel-nerved, aristocratic Count Konrad von Preysing, Roman Catholic Bishop of Berlin, directed that prayers for their safety be offered in every church of his diocese...
