...Forest Service, to some extent, has always been guilty of these mal-practices, but under Eisenhower and Secretary Benson they have been intensified. If the large companies continue to receive Forest Service preference, the small operator will eventually be eliminated; the large companies will, to a great degree, be able to control the price of lumber in this country. The American people must act soon to prevent this lumber monopoly by demanding equitable rights for all logging companies in our National Forests...
...Work," the Superior General gravely warned her: "It is not easy to be a nun. It is a life of sacrifice and self-abnegation. It is a life against nature." Mistaking a will to do good for a vocation to serve God in the cloister, Gabrielle Van der Mal took 17 years to realize that she was not cut out for it.

Peru's President Manuel Odria sometimes thought TIME'S frank reporting unkind, but he never did anything worse in reprisal than to nickname our Lima correspondent, Thomas A. Loayza, "Mal Tiempo." In Argentina, Juan Perón found TIME'S views of his dictatorship so infuriating that he arrested our correspondents, banned the magazine for six years (1947-53). But that did not keep TIME out of the country. Our circulation in Uruguay, across the River Plate, trebled. Argentines crossed the river to smuggle TIME...
