Newman's dream of a first-class, thoroughly Catholic university went up in the smoke of a thousand bonfires five hundred years ago. The church cannot and will not tolerate any thoroughgoing study of man as part and parcel of nature. Whether he likes it or not, Father Hesburgh cannot be other than a medieval man. His profession compels it.

Sir:
Congratulations on your excellent photograph of Nottingham University. At first glance, I was unable to account for the absence of student life on the lawns and lake, but on reading the article it became quite clear that at the time we were either working hard, at the chemist's buying tranquilizing pills, or attending group therapy classes.
Presumably, the same thing was happening at Manchester, but how do you explain the three apparently carefree students pictured outside Birmingham University? Don't they care about white collars?

Sir:
All too often, you depict every run-of-the-mill, nondescript, Caspar Milquetoast, blend-into-the-woodwork type gangster as looking like a bank clerk. And now Eichmann! Come, come, TIME. Where are you doing your banking? Surely not out here in the West, where I am married to a banker who looks like a gangster!

Sir:
Your movie reviewer must have meant to say (in the review of Mein Kampf) that Hitler resembled a wheyfaced, flabby movie reviewer, as there are no postal clerks answering that description.
