...since then, there have been six changes of government, and the current incumbent is Air Commodore Nguyen Cao Ky, whom Lodge has never met. Moreover, at the time of Lodge's 1964 leavetaking, there were 16,000 U.S. servicemen in Viet Nam, restricted to an advisory role and forbidden to carry the war to North Viet Nam. Today, American troops total 67,000, many of them are operating in combat units, and U.S. planes daily attack the North...
...course, be risky: First National City reported last week that it recently lost $8,000,000 through currency dealings in an unnamed country-probably owing to devaluation or runaway inflation. Helping to compensate for such hazards is the fact that commercial banks can do something abroad that they are forbidden to do at home: invest in nonbanking enterprises. The Philadelphia National Bank has stock in or options to buy into industrial firms in a dozen countries, and the Chase Bank's investments reach into developing industries in 17 countries...
...missionaries from the U.S. "This is quite a unique situation," admits Hugh D. Brown, Mormon first counselor. One problem now is that in the absence of supervision from Utah the Nigerian Saints appear to be deviating somewhat from strict adherence to revelation.

Until 1848, the 35,000 Waldensians-descendants of a breakaway Catholic sect that was excommunicated in 1184, and turned Protestant in the 16th century-were forbidden to attend universities, practice law or medicine, or open new churches. The unification of Italy brought an invasion of Methodist and Baptist missionaries from Britain and the U.S., but Mussolini's 1929 agreement with the Vatican made Catholicism the state church, and Fascist laws strictly curtailed Protestants...
...Already 50,000 visitors have tunneled through the white-domed Shrine of the Book (TIME, April 30). Near by are five acres of contoured gardens, designed by Isamu Noguchi, containing sculptures given by Showman Billy Rose. Called the Billy Rose Art Garden (the word for sculpture-pesel-means a forbidden graven image), its terraces bank abstract works from Henry Moore to Tinguely, representational sculptures from Maillol to Rodin. The nudes not the abstractions forced two of Israel's chief rabbis to snub the inauguration...
