...pastoral letter, read from church pulpits all over the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis last week, set down stringent new requirements for Catholic attendance at non-Catholic colleges and universities. "We are alarmed and grieved at the number of graduates who are selecting secular and non-Catholic colleges," wrote St. Louis' Archbishop Joseph E. Ritter.

My government believes that recovery has proceeded to a point where restrictions on trade imposed to meet the financial problems of a decade ago can no longer be justified...
...voices deplore journalistic corruption, sometimes with mild effect. Some reporters and editors are scrupulously honest. Mexican President López Mateos, who personally endorsed the Reporters Union's announced cleanup campaign, also ordered a cut in government handouts to reporters. But none of the solutions proposed-more pay, stringent rules of conduct for reporters-are steadfastly based in the simple, workable journalistic premise that truth pays...
