...criticisms of U.S. Catholic programs in Latin America won Illich the enmity of Boston's Richard Cardinal Gushing, a chief sponsor of such aid programs. Illich's other ideas and the innovations at Cuernavaca provoked mutterings at the Vatican. Cardinal Spellman remained an ally; shortly before his death he flatly refused a request from the Mexican Bishops' Conference to recall Illich "until sustaining reasons are brought forth." But in Rome, Antonio Cardinal Samorè, conservative president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, issued continuing demands for an investigation of Illich and the center, until the Sacred...
...show it, but the 1969 Los Angeles Open last month was a milestone. Short, stubby Charlie Sifford, jumping off to a first-round lead with five birdies and an eagle in one six-hole spree, won the season's opening tournament on the first hole of a sudden-death play-off against, ironically, South Africa's Harold Henning.

During a break, Lerner was asked what he thought of the show. Said Max: "Some of my readers won't believe me when they see me sitting next to that girl. I think they...
...Lama -he carried it "like a magic wand." It authorized him to photograph inside Hindu and Buddhist temples, which is ordinarily prohibited. By mule, Jeep, helicopter and on foot, across dizzying rope bridges, up perilous footpaths, he scaled heights that literally took his breath away. Once he narrowly escaped death when he slipped and fell, only to catch a sturdy bush ten feet down the mountainside. An equally unnerving incident occurred when he was forced to descend from a 13,500-ft. pass in a blinding snowstorm at night, while rocks exploded all around from the swift temperature change...
