...Defregger. Last month, he was implicated in the World War II execution of 17 hostages in Italy, where he served as a German army captain (TIME, July 18). Apparently wanting to wash its hands of the affair, the Vatican denied that it had knowledge of Defregger's wartime past when it made him bishop last year. The Vatican daily L'Osservatore Romano reported that only Defregger's "immediate superiors"-led by Munich's Julius Cardinal Döpfner, one of the main liberal architects of Vatican II -knew of the incident, and they did not inform...
...seek a "poor man's divorce," says Sociologist Lenore Weitzman, a graduate student at Columbia University who is currently completing a study of missing people. Nor are they the determined "social suicides" -most of them also middle-class family men-who succeed in obliterating enough of their past to start fresh and evade detection. Instead, she says, they are like the people who attempt suicide but do not really want to die. Possessed by the feeling that they are trapped, they flee in an inchoate attempt to call attention to their problem. Running, at least for these...
...control cannot be achieved until there is a change in society's attitude toward procreation. As things now stand, social and institutional pressures tend to stigmatize the childless couple - not to mention the single person - as "abnormal."

This year, the overpowering ace of the Los Angeles Dodger staff proved he had as much guts as the batters who had faced him during the past 13 seasons. He pitched game after game despite an injury deep in his shoulder socket that robbed his arm of its power and left him in agony after every throw. He spent five weeks on the disabled list and completed only one game in twelve starts. But he kept coming...
...past year, the once monolithic United Mine Workers union has rumbled with unrest. Dismayed by their leaders' cozy ties with the coal industry and angered by their seeming indifference to health and safety problems, miners in West Virginia walked off their jobs last winter in an unauthorized strike that supported legislation to compensate them for "black lung" ailments. Last week the rebellion moved into a new phase when Joseph A. ("Jock") Yablonski won the first round of his fight to oust W. A. ("Tony") Boyle, 64, from the $50,000-a-year U.M.W. presidency that he has held since...
