...this issue appears John Graham Dowling's last story (see Frontier, 1955, HEMISPHERE). His assignment in Paraguay finished, Buenos Aires Bureau Chief Dowling was flying south to the revolt in Argentina last week when he was killed in a fog-bound airliner crash, five miles from Asuncion. He was the ninth correspondent killed on foreign assignment for TIME...
...Years' Change. Cold war has shattered the U.N.'s first foundations (the wartime Grand Alliance), mangled its basic assumption (Big Power unanimity), surrounded it with perils undreamed of by most of its founders (the H-bomb and Communist expansionism).

Defying a government ban, 100,000 Catholics gathered in front of the cathedral on the Plaza de Mayo, then paraded through the downtown streets. The government labeled the marchers "vandals," accused them of burning an Argentine flag. At midweek, Perón ordered two high-ranking Argentine prelates - Bishop Manuel Tato and Monsignor Ramón Pablo Novoa -expelled from the country on the ground that they had incited the flag-burners. The following day came the Vatican excommunication...
