...recent note from TIME Correspondent Harvey Rosenhouse in Guatemala City began: "Shortly before the battle for Guatemala broke out, I arrived home one evening to learn that a guardia judicial (secret policeman) had waded through my muddy street that day to question my wife Ruth about my activities.

In the process of changing schools, although he has merely switched to another branch of the same university, Ronnie has lost a year's eligibility as a football player, but Harvey Knox is willing to pay the penalty in return for a chance to see Ronnie perform for two years under U.C.L.A. Coach "Red" Sanders. "I like him," said Harvey...
