...perhaps needed it most-invalid children in a Rome hospital, convicts at the grim Regina Coeli prison, where one inmate asked his help in getting an amnesty from the government. "I'm afraid that's out of my competency," replied the Pope. "I don't know what influence I might have in getting the government to grant an amnesty." Then he added: "But I have some influence in a much higher place, and perhaps you might be interested in an indulgence...
...notably liver damage (TIME, April 21). Since then, instead of being prescribed indiscriminately for office patients, iproniazid is being used so carefully that it appears to be no more dangerous than many another potent drug. It is used not only in psychiatry, but also for cancer patients when they know the end is near, and in some unrelated disorders where its apparent value is not fully understood, e.g., angina pectoris and rheumatoid arthritis. Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. (which markets iproniazid as Marsilid) and rival manufacturers have brought out drugs that are close chemical kin to iproniazid but with fewer drawbacks...
Give & Get. As for what Boone calls "April Love" (the title of one of his big record hits), he concedes that he himself played spin-the-bottle at 13 and, perhaps too impetuously, eloped at 19.

Last Remnant. The Xetás are a dying people. Not more than 250 of them now survive. They live in bands of 15 to 25, moving camp every few days. They have no agriculture, know no metal, make no pottery. They sleep on the ground instead of in hammocks as most Brazilian primitives do. Their weapons are bows and arrows and stone axes. Their knives are sharp flakes of stone. They eat everything that they can find or kill in the jungle-fruit, insects, snakes, roots too fibrous for white men's stomachs. In times of plenty, they...
...tactical move. Smith then withdrew his offer to put a third pilot in the jets. Most executives of other airlines oppose the costly third pilot, but know that they will have to go along with it if American finally agrees. Last week the National Mediation Board suggested a new contract that would lift top jet-pilot pay to $28,340 for 85 hours a month in a jet, up from $19,221 for a top DC-7 captain, plus sweeter benefits. American, losing $1,000,000 a day. immediately accepted. At week's end the truculent pilots had still...
