The Philadelphia Flower Show isn't just a week for flower lovers. For horticultural students from the Saul High School of Agricultural Sciences it is the climax of months of hard work and learning. Students from Saul created "An Herban Paradise" for this year's Flower Show, which runs through Sunday at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Their display is a country kitchen overlooking a backyard herb garden. The garden is a traditional four-square geometric garden with sage, thyme and geraniums.

Saul M. Zweig, 88, of Delran, a concentration-camp liberator who later worked as a businessman and substitute teacher, died Monday, July 12, at Virtua Memorial Hospital in Mount Holly. Mr. Zweig enjoyed amazing his high school students with stories of his adventures, from trying out for the New York Yankees to liberating Holocaust victims in Austria.

Saul Steinberg occupies a unique place in American visual culture. He appears to be a cartoonist, and yet no other artist this side of Daumier takes a more critical view of human affairs. Steinberg's drawings may be humorous, but they always deliver a trenchant social commentary. Take as a prime example his famous View of the World From Ninth Avenue, which appeared on the cover of the New Yorker magazine on March 29, 1976. We interpret his whimsically compressed America as the Manhattanite's provincial view of the universe.

In the world of South Jersey wrestling, this was Ali-Frazier. When Millville's Mark Saul and Schalick's Karl Haywood stepped onto the mat Saturday for the District 31 championship at 162 pounds, it seemed to be much more than an average title bout. It was, according to the public address announcer, the match of the year in South Jersey. "I thought it was getting a little out of hand," Haywood said Wednesday at the Region 8 preliminaries at Absegami High. "But what can you do?"
