William Morgan Stewart, born March 18, 1937, in Dundee, Scotland, graduate of Towson (Md.) High School, Johns Hopkins University and University of Edinburgh (Scotland), former U.S. Foreign Service Officer (in Bombay, Washington and South Viet Nam), and TIME correspondent since 1971, is taking a vacation. Finally. After a week of temporary duty in Jerusalem, Stewart, the magazine's Middle East bureau chief, is planning two weeks in Greece and Scotland, says he, to "sleep late and have long naps." For the past 2½ years, Stewart has lived and worked in West Beirut, reporting on, among other things...

A band of young extremists who hurled eggs at the Popemobile (none hit their mark) were quickly hustled away by police. In Glasgow a paltry 100 militant Protestants paraded in protest near by while the Pope led the main worship. At every protest demonstration, he seemed unfazed-and unmoved...

On Tuesday, his plans called for an ecumenical meeting with representatives of Scottish churches, then a quick series of appearances at events around Glasgow-all by means of a helicopter. The final stop that night was to be an informal evening chat with the Scottish Catholic hierarchy at George Gordon Cardinal...

But the London theatre has rarely been healtheir. This year's Edinburgh Festival--a staggering assortment of fringe theatre companies, musicians and artists--was, even at its most materially impoverished, an embarrassment of riches. An embarrassment, that is, to an American weaned on television, advertising, and Broadway musicals...
