...replace Upadhyaya, a longtime politician and one of the original founders of the Jana Sangh, party members met last week and picked another moderate of the same stripe: Atal Bihari Vajpayee, 41, an ex-newspaper editor who served as party leader in the lower house of Parliament. After Upadhya-ya's death, which was followed by an emotional funeral and ritual burning of the body in New Delhi, the new party leader will need all of his political skills to keep his party extremists in line...
Diminutive, dark-eyed Elizabeth, who comes from a well-to-do Caracas family, first met Debray when he visited Venezuela in 1964 to film Castroite guerrillas in the hills for French television. Moving in the same left-wing circles in Caracas and sharing the same interest in philosophy, the two saw a lot of each other, began living together on and off in Paris and Cuba.

Many were apprehensive-surprisingly, more about seeing others nude than about being seen-but just talking it out helped. Though they had the choice of bathing nude or wearing a suit...
ROMAN CATHOLICS More Power for Priests The trend toward democratization in the Catholic Church was demonstrated anew last week, when 300 priests from 114 U.S. dioceses (out of 141) met in Chicago to form a nationwide organization to speak out on clerical affairs. A few years ago, such an organization would have been unthinkable. The new assembly, which calls itself the Federation of Priests' Councils, aims to mobilize local priests' groups in efforts to improve the quality of the clergy and speed the pace of reform in the church -and society. To show their ecumenical spirit, the priests...
