THOUGH not on a military assignment, Bill McHale, our Rome bureau chief, met his death last week in the line of duty. He was killed in the plane crash that also took the life of Italy's oil czar, Enrico Mattei, whom he was accompanying to gather material for a story. Whether covering street riots in the Middle East, or undergoing the normal hazards of a much-traveled foreign correspondent, McHale was familiar with danger...
Died. William Francis McHale Jr., 42. TIME-LIFE bureau chief in Rome; in the crash of a private jetliner that also killed Italian Industrialist Enrico Mattei; near Milan, Italy (see WORLD BUSINESS). A deft and imperturbable New Yorker. Bill McHale served four years with the Coast Guard during World War II, studied at Harvard Business School, and entered journalism as a business writer for Barron's Weekly; he joined TIME in 1949, was a writer for two years and then became a correspondent serving successively in Washington, London and Beirut before going to Rome...
...company to continue production, thus assuring himself of a continuing income while he dickers for help in getting his own company on its feet. And help may not be hard to find. The Soviet Union might aid Kassem simply for political advantage. And in Rome sits hawk-faced Enrico Mattei, boss of Italy's state petroleum monopoly, who delights in defying the big Western oil companies. Though Mattei is getting oil more cheaply from Russia than he probably could from Iraq, he is under mounting pressure from other Common Market members to cut back his imports of Soviet...
Shared markets have also led European manufacturers to move closer to one another in product styling. Since Genoa Industrialist Enrico Piaggio sent his Vespa motor scooters swarming through Europe as the first postwar apostles of the Italian look, Italy has become firmly established as the fountainhead of European design. Britain's Clore, whose multitudinous holdings include a corner on 22% of the British shoe market, makes periodic Italian tours to keep up with the latest in footwear; British Motor Corp.'s Harriman turned to Italian Stylist Pinin Farina to design autos that would sell better on the Continent...
...worked most closely on the nuclear chain reactions that made the atomic bomb possible, one, Enrico Fermi, died of cancer. In 1959 the other, Leo Szilard, went to his doctors with a bladder cancer; they could not remove it all. Said Szilard then: "I don't expect to live, but I hope to be active for a few months and perhaps a year." Last week Dr. Szilard, 64, physicist turned biologist and crusader for the abolition of war, quietly noted that he has now gone two full years free of cancer symptoms. "I feel fine," he said...
