This country is unlikely to use the courts to bring the planners of the Indochina War to justice. Instead, Honeywell, the latter-day Krupp, is appearing on campus to recruit technicians and executives from the Harvard student body.

...fact, the dramatization was more like the Children of God of two years ago (TIME, Jan. 24, 1972). Today the Children are scattered to the four corners of the earth, preaching doom to America, buttering up Libya's latter-day caliph, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, and loosening up their sex ethics enough to lure new members.

Lee rose to prominence in church circles as a welfare worker during the Depression, eventually developed the program into a $20 million enterprise. Named a member of the church's governing Council of the Twelve Apostles in 1941, Lee was one of the youngest men ever to become "prophet, seer, and revelator" of the Mormons. Lee succeeded 95-year-old Joseph Fielding Smith upon his death 18 months...
