...process, with the maneuvering smoothed over by ecumenical diplomacy. But in other respects the man who won the World Council's chief executive post last week outdid both of Wallace's fictional contenders. He is Philip Alford Potter, 51, a Methodist from the West Indian island of Dominica. By geography and persuasion he is a Third Worlder. He is also black...
...Dominica Morelli, 17, had been sexually assaulted by one of her alcoholic mother's four husbands. Moved to a foster home, she ran away and returned to her mother. Placed under a curfew, she made a trip without her mother's permission and was promptly charged with violating probation...
WITH singular integrity the Cambridge Society for Early Music last Wednesday evening avoided the institutionalized classics of antiquity, particularly those Interesting Historical Figures Palestrina, Monteverdi and Gabrieli, to present two pivotal and masterful liturgical compositions. These were the Musikalische Exequien (1636) of Heinrich Schutz, and the Vesperae de Dominica (1779) of Mozart.

The St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla group (pop.: 60,000) suffers from uncertain prices for its sugar. The fortunes of St. Lucia (100,000), Grenada (88,000) and Dominica (67,000) slide or surge along with the world price for their bananas. Only Antigua (65,000), with its casino and 33 hotels, attracts a sizable tourist crowd; it needs visitors more than usual this year because drought has ruined the sugar crop...
