Handymen to the Hungry. Conference members work hard for their pay, are topnotch labor-relations experts and, for the most part, community pillars. Conference Chairman Clarence Beck of Salt Lake City, no kin to deposed Teamster Boss Dave Beck of Seattle, is a Mayflower descendant and Son of the American Revolution. But an important few serve as Teamster policymakers and handy men to power-hungry bosses. Examples...
Arriving at Geneva's Hotel du Rhone as one of a U.S. congressional delegation to the atoms-for-peace conference (see SCIENCE), New York's Representative Ludwig Teller checked in minutes after Physicist Edward Teller-developer of the hydrogen bomb and no kin to Ludwig -checked out. Before long, people were asking the lawmaker some pretty steep questions. "Dr. Teller," someone inquired (and the title was right, too, because Congressman Teller is a J.S.D.), "how do you transfer magnetohydrodynamic motion to plasma particles without energy depreciation?" Glibly shaking off the fallout, Democrat Teller summoned counterploys learned on Capitol...
What of the Others? How much credence should cancer victims and their kin give to the Murray report? Experts on both sides of the border were puzzled to answer. Despite Dr. Murray's standing as a surgeon, he has little background in immunology. And some immunologists said flatly that his method would not work.

Less than 72 hours later, in the middle of cop-filled Havana. Charles Hormel, 45, U.S. citizen, coolly identified himself to a TIME correspondent as pilot of the plane. A rebel sympathizer who married into a wealthy Cuban family 17 years ago, Dayton-born Charles Hormel (distant kin to the meat-packing family) began flying to rebel territory last October. Twenty-seven times he flew an arms-laden plane, usually rented at Miami International Airport, to Cuba. After ditching on flight 28, he swam ashore, and the rebels put him on a bus for Havana. The Navy recovered the plane...
Four of his six brothers were in the Catholic clergy, his other kin deeply anti-Puritan. Gage himself, while avoiding prosecution as a priest, got help, refuge and money from his family and Catholic sympathizers. At length he preached a sermon of recantation in St. Paul's just six days after King Charles I raised his standard at Nottingham and began war against his Puritan Parliament. Thereafter, Gage sent to torture and the scaffold an old schoolmate from St. Omer's, a Jesuit priest. There is also some evidence that he actually informed...
