Brazil's Roman Catholic hierarchy last year issued a broad appeal for re form, and in several states of Brazil, priests and bishops are actively engaged in trying to help workers secure better wages, education and housing. Last week Dom Helder Câmara, Auxiliary Archbishop of Rio, warned that de lays in undertaking reforms of Latin America's social and economic structure "can be catastrophic...
Another View. A hemisphere-wide parliament may help, but recently another critic of the Alliance proclaimed that the Alliance's failings go deeper than mechanics. "The Alliance for Progress is dead," said Archbishop Dom Helder Camara, 54, of Rio de Janeiro. "But I desire its resurrection." The archbishop's appraisal, taped on TV for rebroadcast in the U.S., might be too harsh. The Alliance shows signs of life in several countries-notably Venezuela, Colombia, Chile and El Salvador.

Only the fortified stretch of German Europe along the Channel, the near Atlantic...
After Cadet Helfrich became an officer, the spirit of prophecy and offense both waxed within him. In the early 1920s, when he was teaching other young sprouts at Den Helder, his favorite lecture was on the coming war between the U.S. and Japan. "When?" his students would ask him, and he would boom: "In this generation." Then he would stride to a blackboard map and chalk three Xs- on Pearl Harbor, the Panama Canal, San Francisco. "There," he would say, "the attacks will fall...
