Second Start. In these straits. Britain's chief negotiator, Sir Denis Rickett, flew to Washington last week to see World Bank President Eugene Black, who was most responsible for working out the Egyptian-British settlement in the first place (TIME, Jan. 19).

His impressive qualifications for the position, second biggest in his church: 16 years as a Greek Orthodox theologian and chief vicar of congregations in New York and New England, four years as Greek Orthodoxy's highly effective liaison agent at World Council of Churches headquarters in Geneva...
