Humphries' football end, now TIME'S Associate Editor Richard Seamon, wrote this week's cover story on Actress Anne Bancroft, has written at least 14 other covers on subjects as dissimilar as Air Force Space Physician John Paul Stapp (MEDICINE, Sept. 12, 1955), Yankee Orator Casey Stengel (SPORT, Oct. 3, 1955), and TV's glib-jib Private Eyes (Snow BUSINESS, Oct. 26).

Muñoz' proposal seems to be the proper start: U.S.-Puerto Rico relations are regulated by a compact that can be changed only by mutual consent. It also set the stage for a hot argument in Congress...
What remains there is still chaotic. But last week two of TIME'S correspondents, James Bell and Paul Hurmuses, who have been crossing and recrossing Southeast Asia, found a common thread in many dissimilar situations: Communism, instead of being triumphantly on the march, is on the defensive in Southeast Asia.
