...Roosevelt, abandoned intervention, first in practice (the troops were withdrawn from three countries) and then in principle (the U.S. signed the 1936 nonintervention agreement of Buenos Aires). Today the principle of nonintervention, far more than a weapon against out-of-date U.S. meddling, is a rule of law that must apply to all of the hemisphere's nations. As Colombian President Alberto Lleras Camargo (onetime head of the OAS) once said: "A group of democratic nations may destroy an antidemocratic government by coercion and intervention. But who is going to guarantee that a coalition of antidemocratic governments will...
Stocks, Bonds & Buchwald. British-born Eric Hawkins, who hired on as a copyreader in 1915 after abandoning a vain ambition to box, played up the New York markets, banking on the hunch that this was "must" reading to tourists. This and Columnist Art Buchwald, who walked in one day ten years ago and asked for a job, are the Trib's two most popular features. Roaming the Continent's nightclubs and halls of state, Buchwald gradually assumed the same institutional quality as his employer; his 1953 column explaining Thanksgiving Day to the Trib's 13,000 French...
...always hatless and usually coatless in the bitterest weather, Rhoads directed his campaign against cancer with a crusader's zeal. He trod on many toes, was accused of being arbitrary and autocratic, of regimenting his 300 elite researchers and their supporting forces. Dr. Rhoads believed that the public must understand cancer research to support it, talked freely to the press.

Jealous, they...
Each guardsman must be 6 ft. tall, a practicing Catholic of "good" family. All are unmarried (except officers); all must sign up for five years of long, lonely hours patrolling Vatican corridors; only a lucky few draw outdoor posts. Fraternization with civilians is forbidden. The guards worship in their own chapel in Vatican City, have their own canteen, even their own cemetery. Pay is low, and there is a 10 p.m. curfew in summer, 9 p.m. in winter...
Harsh Discipline. The new rules should make it much easier to fill vacancies in the ranks. But each guardsman must still reckon with his tough C.O.: tall, ramrod-rigid Colonel Robert Nunlist, 48, onetime member of Switzerland's General Staff, who was appointed commander in 1957. Nunlist felt that discipline had deteriorated during the long illness of the previous commander, set out to whip the troop into shape. His soldiers are kept taut with tongue-lashings, stern punishments for minor infractions. Nunlist's strictness nearly cost him his life last April, when a discharged guardsman shot...
