...works Leonardo da Vinci left posterity, only one has been recognized as a self-portrait: a red chalk drawing showing a fierce, lion-headed old patriarch with a furrowed brow and burning eyes. Last week an Italian artist and scholar by the name of Lorenzo Ferri insisted that he had found a second. The face of the Apostle Thaddeus, he said, second from the right in Leonardo's famed Last Supper* is none other than that of the painter himself...

Because of their awareness, TIME was the second U.S. publication (after the New York Times) to operate permanent news bureaus in South America. Over the years, this network of correspondents has expanded. It has supplied important stories for most sections of the magazine and is responsible, of course, for our regular Hemisphere section. Latin American stories have ranged all the way from the Business section's reports on spreading air routes to the Music section's reviews of compositions...
