Children's Fund (UNICEF), Paris-based since 1946, disclosed plans to move its headquarters to Geneva by next summer. Soon to come is a helter-skelter maze of smaller programs, ranging from the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to the International Bureau for Declaration of Death, which identifies victims of civil wars and natural disasters, to the U.N.

...photo of The Drama of Everyday Life (kids' cats stuck in trees with firemen on the way; the near rescue of a suicide victim; the wreckage of the car and truck that crashed head-on at 80 mph, miraculously killing only seven out of eight occupants). The front-page maze of banner headlines luring readers to inside pages gave way to a single full-column headline atop the new paper; there will be no more 60 pt.
