...Nonsense World. The program is a tough one for any nation to follow, especially in Latin America. But Alessandri's credentials are convincing. A son of Chile's late great "Lion of Tarapacá," three-time President Arturo Alessandri, he grew up in a world of hardheaded business. He took over Chile's paper monopoly, ran it on the no-nonsense theory that what is good for the company is bound to be good for the workers, made both himself and his employees prosperous. Aside from a term as a Santiago Congressman when...
Study & Llanos. The joint Colombia-Rockefeller project, directed by 16 Ph.D.s, has also produced a bumper crop of trained scientific personnel. The U.S. specialists instruct about 100 Colombians at Tibaitata, plus five other Latin Americans nominated by their governments. Another eight project scientists are usually sent to the U.S. on fellowships to take advanced degrees. The program's cost to date: about $12 million, of which $9,500,000 has been supplied by Colombia, the rest by the Foundation...

Protestant missionaries face the spears of Ecuador's Auca Indians; they educate-and influence-Catholic children squeezed from parochial schools by the continent-wide shortage of classrooms; they befriend the thousands of bewildered European and Asian immigrants who arrive...
...invasion is partly due to the fact that the Far East, long a prime missionary target, has been largely closed by war or Communism for the past two decades. But it is not the only reason. While there are five times as many Catholic priests, nuns and brothers in Latin America as there are Protestant churchmen and women, the Catholics must tend their already established flocks, while Protestants can put more time and money into missionary work. Protestant missionaries supply remote outposts with their own airlines (TIME, Jan. 6), run their own radio networks, gave away free nearly...
