Part of the reporting assignment fell to another onetime Canadian bureau chief, Gavin Scott. He joined TIME as a correspondent in his home town of Montreal in 1959 and then served in Ottawa for 1½ years before moving on to Buenos Aires, Madrid, Boston, Beirut, Saigon and San Francisco. Scott's current beat is South America, which he covers from Rio de Janeiro, but he was on vacation in the village of Georgeville, Quebec, last month when it became apparent that Mulroney could win big. Scott quickly revved up and did some intensive pulse-taking of government officials...

It was in Madrid, on Oct. 2, 1928, that Hospital Chaplain Escrivá received an instantaneous vision of the Opus Dei concept as church bells began to ring.
