...Ransom. Less than two months ago, in a dramatic changing of the guard (TIME, Sept. 21), Cushing turned over his diocese to the Most Reverend Humberto S. Medeiros, an activist bishop who had previously headed the diocese of Brownsville, Texas. "The will to live will be gone," predicted an old friend.

After 26 years as Boston's archbishop, ailing Richard Cardinal Cushing, 75, was helped up the steps of Holy Cross Cathedral for the two-hour ceremonial installation of his successor, Archbishop Humberto S.

Delgado won 23% of the vote. This year's chief opposition leader is Lawyer Mario Soares, 44, a thoughtful Socialist politician who went to jail twelve times under Salazar. Soon after Caetano became Premier, he brought Soares back from remote São Tomé island, where Salazar...
