...President's chief pilot and Air Force aide, Colonel William G. Draper, found the machine last autumn after discarding other helicopter models one by one. Since its appearance in 1954, Bell Aircraft's H-47J had logged an impressive safety and maintenance record, though its range (151 nautical miles) and speed (92 knots) are not exceptional. Bent on safety first, Draper climbed aboard an H-47J for a tough six-part performance test, then began looking for an Air Force pilot who could match the copter...
...Cool autumn winds off the River Plate stirred fitfully through Buenos Aires this week, fluttering bright political posters on the walls, wafting a rich aroma from the stand-up coffee bars, riffling the leaves of the acacia trees. Steamers hooted in the harbor, cattle bawled in the stockyards, streetcars clanged and creaked.

And Autumn, more soul than landscape, reveals perhaps even more the spirit of an old master than a modern...
Ever since his short-lived freedom from Communist jailers during last autumn's Hungarian revolution, Josef Cardinal Mindszenty has been living in the U.S. Legation in Budapest. Mindszenty, forced by Russian intervention to seek refuge, lives in a two-room apartment, gets his meals from the legation kitchen, works on his memoirs and takes infrequent strolls in a gloomy little patio in the legation compound. Though the legation keeps him supplied with newspapers (including the Paris Herald Tribune), the protocol of diplomatic refuge forbids him to receive or send letters or to use the telephone...
