...Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR). Gutierez, wounded in a Shootout with the secret police, was brought to a convent in Santiago. Monsignor Maroto summoned Dr. Cassidy, who drained abscessed bullet wounds in Gutierez's leg. Another priest, Fernando Salas, later smuggled Gutierez and a guerrilla companion, Maria Elena Bachman, into the embassy of the Holy See. Wheelan and Maroto were arrested along with Cassidy; Salas and another priest gave themselves up. All were subsequently released. None of the priests has charged that he was tortured...
During his 15 years on the Vatican's ecumenism staff, Johannes Gerardus Maria Willebrands has been a skilled, tireless builder of bridges between Roman Catholics and other Christians. Now he faces the equally delicate task of building bridges within his own church. Even while Willebrands retains the presidency of the Secretariat for Christian Unity, Pope Paul VI has appointed the clear-eyed cardinal as the new archbishop of Utrecht and thus the primate of the troubled Dutch Catholic church...
Among the extraordinary works in this collection are a 14th century processional cross decorated with an enthroned Christ and symbols of the Evangelists from Borbona (see cut); and a superb 13th century Limoges enamel casket, borrowed from the Roman church of Santa Maria in Via Lata (see color pages).

Now 81, he continues to work at a large new center at Nyankunde, awaking at 5 a.m. to pray with his staff before his rounds. He and his ailing wife Maria may soon leave Africa. The Zaireans would like to see the couple ultimately buried there-a great tribute to whites-but the Beckers do not want to become burdensome invalids for the hospital...
...Maria Reiche, a German researcher, speculates that the Nazca artists executed the drawings by first sketching them on small plots of land, then used a complex system of strings and central piles of rock to make large-sized "blowups" (TIME, March 25, 1974). Members of the International Explorers Society, a travel-oriented organization based in Coral Gables, Fla., have another explanation. They believe that the Nazcas laid out their remarkable figures while being guided by observers hovering above them in a hot-air balloon. In an attempt to prove their point, I.E.S. members last month flew a crude balloon over...
