...window called out in a din of dripping reds and scrawled yellows "A People United Cannot be Defeated," "Vote for Popular Unity," "Che Lives," "Defeat Yanqui Imperialism." But there was a somber tone to the city that no amount of revolutionary prose could conceal. The Latin American autumn was quietly stealing the bright leaves away, leaving them in gray-brown piles that merged with the concrete sidewalks and the people walking along them. And there was an undefined tension in the people one met and a sense of resignation to a foe one could...
...member of the U.S. delegation to the Synod of Bishops in Rome this autumn, the Archbishop of Cincinnati earned a signal honor: he was the only bishop to be elected on the first ballot to the planning council for the next Synod. Last week Joseph L. Bernardin, who at 46 is one of the nation's youngest archbishops, received an even more important accolade. In Washington, D.C., at their annual meeting, the 248 U.S. bishops present elected him the next president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, the collective voice of the U.S. hierarchy...

But princesses too sometimes lose a race, and Nori, who was too busy laughing to mind, finished third in her group of eight...
...chill autumn wind whipped across northern Iowa last week, a gaunt, solitary figure hiked steadily through the cornfields, waving to speeding semitrailers, swatting at snarling dogs with his walking stick, singing and talking to himself. The man was David Kunst, 35, who left his home town of Waseca, Minn., 4½ years ago with an unusual objective: to walk round the world (with the help of airplanes, of course, to carry him across the oceans). Though no match for the rawboned Kunst, who was averaging 40 miles a day, TIME Correspondent Richard Woodbury puffed along for a while...
