"I have received revival In my own soul," the evangelist said. "I've been revived myself spiritually by what has happen ed in New York." Graham made it evident he was jubilant over the reception New York and the world has giver his crusade, the longest and most successful he has ever conducted, and which he has described as "the biggest evang elistic effort since the time of Paul."

"Pride produces jealousy, which produces strife and war fare, he said.

There were 26 other law yers in his class, all trying to pull themselves out of an at torney's habit of reading with extra slowness in an effort to squeeze every possible nuance out of a sentence.

After all, Sophia was photo graphed at diplomatic social functions with White House of ficials in the background, so why shouldn't she visit the executive offices. The .powers that be decreed otherwise, however. They didn't like the possibility of theatrical publicity. It is hard to figure the dif ference between publicity for Bob Hope and publicity for Sophia Loren. Question of the day at the White House: What ever hap pened to that city official in Newport, R.I., who was buzzing about the harbor in secret, drop ping choice morsels of bait at selected spots to attract fish for the President? This was going on when the President was ex pected to go to Rhode Island the second week of August. By now, the Newport fish must be rather well fed and the official must be out of lots of bait. The fish truly will have the last laugh if, when Eisen hower goes to Rhode Island next week, he decides to pass up salt water fishing and concentrate on golf.
