Brazilian army officers traditionally like to think of themselves as the true de fenders of constitutional government. A fervent upholder of that tradition is Lieut. General Henrique Teixeira Lott, 61, leader of last week's revolt. In recent months War Minister Lott had emerged as the army's sturdiest opponent of the faction called golpistas-the military and civilian leaders who favor a golpe (coup) to keep middle-roading President-elect Juscelino Kubitschek (TIME, Oct. 17 et ante) from taking office next January...
When the facts finally came out, as the 1953 season rolled around, undergraduates were shocked. On September 26 three Masters admitted that they "favored" cutting the Saturday curfew to 8 p.m. during the football season. By the next day, a newly-formed Student Parietal Rules Committee had collected 300 fervent signatures on a petition urging the Masters not to do this.

...open-hearth tender, steel company cost accountant, union local president and now a lecturer in industrial relations at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Wearing an open-neck sport shirt and studding his shop lingo with four-letter words, Joe Scanlon looks and sounds like anything but what he is: a fervent evangelist for the mutual interests of labor and management, who knows how to sell the idea to both sides. His selling device: the Scanlon Plan, designed to 1) cut the worker in on the adventure, the decisions and the profits of increased production, and 2) help management tap the ingenuity...
