Birrell's last name off so that the industrialist, known as a Batista supporter, would not be assassinated when his plane landed in Fidel Castro's Cuba. To the delight of Brazilians, who regard avoiding taxes as a kind of fifth freedom, Ultima Horn reported that the only reason Birrell did not want to go home was a mere matter of income tax evasion. O Globo reported a Chaloupe statement that Birrell wanted to build a $14 million electronics plant in Brazil, and that "it can only be deduced that interests that do not want to lose these...
When Spain's cool, confident Matador Luis Dominguin, 33, was gored four weeks ago, he told friends: "I'll come back as soon as I can stand. I don't want the fans to think I'm afraid of the bulls." Last week, with the horn wound in his right thigh still unhealed, Dominguin went into the ring at Bilbao for another mano a mano with boyish Antonio Ordonez, 27, his brother-in-law, in their current series to decide who is bullfighting's el primero (TIME...

With this credo, Harold Eugene Churchill, 56, climbed to the presidency of Studebaker-Packard Corp. and led the company back from the brink of bankruptcy. Unlike other auto chief executives, Churchill does not compete as a supersalesman or financial whiz. He came up as an oldtime, dirty-fingernail mechanic, who still loves to tinker under an open hood. Realizing that S.P. could...
