...irony of Altgeld's life was that he was not a rebel until his enemies made him one. Then he became one of the most effective dissenters in the country. Born in Germany of peasant stock in 1847, he was brought to the U. S. when he was three months old-a circumstance that kept him from being the Populist candidate for President. With his health permanently weakened by fever contracted as a Union soldier, he wandered through the West, became a lawyer in Missouri and settled in Chicago in 1875. He had married a childhood sweetheart, written...
...youth dreamy Charles distinguished himself only by his fibs, his cribbing in school (where he got the nickname "Gas"), his passion for hunting, his aimless wandering from university to university in search of a profession. A passive resister rather than a rebel, always intimidated by his big, bumbling father, he decided at last on a Church career. Natural history was merely a desultory hobby that accidentally got him an appointment as naturalist on the five-year voyage of the Beagle. And although he was no more interested in the Church than he had been in his other blind alleys...
...Beals's autobiography describes a three-year tour of Europe, his relations with Ambassador Morrow, the breaking off of Mexican-Soviet relations, challenges the truth of many a story told by Author Beals's fellow journalists. Typical is his version of how it happened that the Nicaraguan rebel Sandino was equipped with Russian rifles. They were manufactured, says Beals, in the U.

This small but vigorous "rebel" church, a vexation to the Presbyterian Church from which it split, was lately ordered by a Philadelphia court to give up its too-similar name (TIME, Jan. 31), but has continued to use it pending an appeal. Last week the rebel church was again thrown for a loss by a New Jersey court decision which had nationwide significance. New Jersey's Vice Chancellor Francis B. Davis ruled that although a rebel Presbyterian congregation could secede from the parent church, it could not take its church building-which it had paid for-along with...
...Collingswood, N. J., a quiet commuters' town near Philadelphia, is worth $250,000. For five years this church's pastor was Rev. Carl Mclntire, 31, a boyish, athletic Oklahoman who was one of Dr. Machen's star pupils at Princeton Theological Seminary, followed him into the rebel Presbyterian Church in America. All but 100 of Collingswood's 1,200 Presbyterians went along with their eloquent pastor in his Fundamentalist beliefs, but they stopped short of becoming full-fledged constituents of the rebel Church. When a handful of loyal members of the church brought suit to determine...
