Breaking Bread. Clad in her spotless blue-bordered white sari, Mother Teresa, who ministers to the starving people of Calcutta (TIME, Dec. 29), was the cynosure of the congress. At the world-hunger symposium, the diminutive nun prayed over a table laden with bread, then broke a loaf of bread and invited those in attendance to do likewise to symbolize the sharing of food. To her, both the U.S. and India are in deep trouble. "There is spiritual poverty and there is material poverty," she told her audience of 6,000 faithful, "and I think each...

She offered a novel account of how he first declared his intention of seeking the presidency. Clad only in his shorts one night in 1973, he put a foot on her bed and started to speak. "Take your foot off the bed." Miss Lillian commanded. When Jimmy said that he would run for President and win, she thought he must be joking. Then she spotted a telltale...
