...particularly useful qualification right now. Next are Deputy Prime Minister "Rab" Butler (2-1), who has all the necessary experience, but at 60 may have been around too long; and Lord Hailsham, bellicose, blimpish Science Minister, 55, whose hopes faded rapidly when the government said that its lords reform bill, which would permit him to sit in the Commons, would not be introduced this summer. Ted Heath, 46, is generally ruled out because he is associated with the Common Market failure, and besides, he is a bachelor...
...ordered the arrest of every one of the country's estimated 40,000 Communists, Castroites and far-leftists, but later amended the order to cover only "activists and terrorists." The incident proved once more that Castro is determined to export his revolution, and that Venezuela's democratic, reform-minded President, whom the Reds have been after for years, is still target No. 1. As an Organization of American States committee recently reported: "There is no doubt that the Castro regime has chosen Venezuela as its primary objective...
...East. In this year's campaign, Belaúnde promised Peruvians land reform based on expropriation of the big estates, worker-controlled industrial cooperatives, housing, food, jobs, easy loans. He talked of opening up the lush jungles to the east beyond the Andes-and went there himself by canoe and muleback.

"I could get to the majors with my bat, but I knew I couldn't stay unless I got a glove." Picked up by the newborn Angels in 1961, Wagner finally got a chance to play regularly and made the most of it: .280 batting average, 28 homers, 79 RBIs. Last year he supplied the punch (37 homers, 107 RBIs) that kept the upstart Angels in first division. But his big moment...
...misgivings about other cardinals who rule Italy's great archdioceses. Milan's aggressive Giovanni Montini, 65, a much-mentioned liberal with many Curia enemies, has been mercurial and indecisive as a pastoral leader. Easygoing, emotional Giacomo Lercaro, 71, of Bologna professes a deep interest in social reform, but, complains one Vatican official, "his conception of social work is giving alms." The likable Patriarch of Venice, Giovanni Urbani, 63, is thought to be excessively dependent upon his advisers...
