...over the world on his 78th birthday. His three-room apartment in the quiet Munich suburb of Bogenhausen is a center of Roman Catholic intellectual life in Germany, with an almost equally strong attraction for many Protestants. Just out of the hospital (where he underwent surgery for an ailment described only as neuralgia), Monsignor Romano Guardini again presided over his "Laboratory of Ideas," with its long refectory table, its delicate Gothic Madonna standing against red velvet, its record collection, and its thousands of books, including three shelves of his own writings on everything from theology to movies...
From Morphine to Coke. Starting in 1945, King hit the lower depths of a decade of drug addiction. A doctor prescribed morphine for his kidney ailment, and Alex was soon hooked. He is bitter about U.S. treatment of addicts, which he believes to be medievally retarded, and attributes his cure to that hallowed remedy, the love of a good woman-his fourth and current wife, Margie Lou Swett, 26, a svelte and self-possessed singer who sometimes doubles on snare drums on his television show...

Abed with a back ailment last autumn, President Carlos Garcia had ample time to ponder the stunning election defeats his Nationalist a Party candidates had suffered in the major cities. By all accounts, a major crisis of conscience occurred, for the more sophisticated city voters (whose votes cannot as easily be bought as in the rural barrios) were protesting the Garcia government's record of influence-peddling, nepotism and mismanagement. "Will my grandchildren think I was a good President?" Garcia asked an aide. Manila cynics suggested that another question was running through his mind: Will the voters think...
