...growing number of Protestant mission stations in eastern Ecuador. "It is our task," he wrote, "to lift these missionaries up to where five minutes in a plane equals 24 hours on foot . . . It's a matter of gaining precious time, of redeeming days and weeks, months and even years that can be spent in giving the Word of Life to primitive people...
...good one," said General Secretary Willem Visser 't Hooft of the World Council of Churches, as the council's tenth annual Central Committee meeting in Rhodes adjourned last week. The meeting was good for its air-clearing exchanges between Protestant and Orthodox delegates -and even, offstage, with the Roman Catholic observers to Rhodes (TIME, Aug. 31). It was also hard because it did not produce the one big thing the W.C.C. had hoped for: a real breakdown of the barriers separating the Protestant and Orthodox churches...
Repercussions of the Rhodes meeting were felt even in Rome, where some newspapers printed exaggerated accounts of an informal gathering between Orthodox delegates and the Roman Catholic observers in the early stages of the meeting.

Only Basilio seemed to have...

Testifying before District Attorney Frank Hogan's grand jury ("I have nothing to hide''), he finally admitted that the real power behind the Patterson-Johansson fight was Harlem's Anthony ("Tony Fat") Salerno, 48, according to Hogan "a known gambler, bookmaker and policy operator," and a friend of Frankie Carbo, leading light in boxing's dim underworld. Rosensohn said that Velella was only a front man for Tony Fat (who had found it convenient to disappear), later went...
