Soul-Winning Business. Last week some 3,000 of the faithful, from every state in the union and eight countries, gathered at her "jolly, gaudy" Temple for the 41st annual convention of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. Membership, reported Church President Rolf McPherson, 50, Aimee's only son, has reached a record 218,800. The Angelus Temple has spawned more than 750 daughter churches and 1,300 mission stations in 27 countries; graduates from its three Bible colleges will carry the faith to eight more lands in 1964. The church now boasts gross assets of $41 million...
...success seems largely due to the shrewd management of muzzy, homey Rolf McPherson, who looks, says one colleague, "like the man who comes onstage from the side and takes the third seat from the center." McPherson, who lives modestly in a middle-class Los Angeles suburb, has a Scotsman's knack for paring pennies and replenishing coffers.

Italian Drawings, more modest in scope and quality of reproduction, restricts itself...
...rather ironic that a person like Rolf Hochhuth cannot wait till the "Last Judgment" to discover truth! Why should he pour more salt on the wounds of World War II by questioning the integrity of a dead man who did so much good for humanity...
...sergeant who was assigned to his country's military mission in Washington. An ambitious, name-dropping, heavily made-up mother of a five-year-old boy, Elly was a fixture at Washington parties. In September, five weeks after the Rometsches were shipped back to West Germany, her husband Rolf, 25, divorced her on the ground of "conduct contrary to matrimonial rules." Last week, while Elly hid out on her parents' farm near Wuppertal, Rolf spoke ruefully of his Washington experience, said that he "had no idea what was going on behind my back. It's a case...
