Still to be chosen: a successor to Jean Monnet as operational head of the Coal and Steel Authority. One favorite for the job: Robert Schuman, whose "Schuman Plan" started it all. Though politically the European dream stirs no great enthusiasm these days, the economic side of it is surprisingly perky. Largely as a result of the Schuman Plan, and its creation of a common tariff-free market, Jean Monnet reported last week that...
...When Dr. Clark started trying to translate his dream hospital into reality, he could figure on an appropriation of only $1,750,000. Working with Dr. Frederick C. Elliott, overall director of the Texas Medical Center, he picked a firm of Houston architects (MacKie & Kamrath) that had never designed a hospital and so had no preconceived ideas.

Vargas, more than most of his countrymen, dreamed the big dream of Brazil's future, but in the end he failed to cope with the urgent problems of the present. Last August, in the midst of a shattering political crisis, after a group of top-ranking generals had warned him that he must resign for the country...
