...West Coast-time to make breakfast or to drive to work-when the flickering radio signal carried the voice of Cardinal Canali announcing, in his soft, Italianate Latin: "Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum-habemus papam." The press, whose attention for days had been focused on the smoke signals from the Sistine Chapel, promptly provided both great clouds and small wisps of facts about the man who would henceforth be known as John XXIII. TIME'S task was to organize the mass of facts-which reached the U.S. haphazardly morning and night for a week-into a coherent, intelligible story. TIME...
...apartment house is a postwar phenomenon in Japan, and the old country will never be the same. During the war 4,000,000 families saw their delicate paper houses go up in smoke, and the ramshackle wooden shacks that the government hastily threw together afterward have been destroyed, at the rate of 30,000 a year, by fire and typhoon. To take care of the millions of homeless, the government picked a go-getting, 72-year-old banker named Hisaakira Kano, a former viscount. Kano's philosophy was simple but radical: "With too many people and too little land...
Broadway is an unhealthy place, in the opinion of Producer Manning Gurian, because of the fallout from all those theatrical A-bombs. Knowing the pain of Broadway radiation burns (in 1948 he brought Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke into Manhattan after a triumphant three-week road tryout only to see Summer go up in smoke), he has devised a classically simple defense: get out of town.

...during the procession to the main altar the Pope was halted by the master of ceremonies to receive a small brazier of glowing coals and a handful of flax that the Pope threw upon the fire. Then, as the flax flared up and was gone in a puff of smoke, the master of ceremonies looked into the Pontiff's eyes and intoned the ancient warning: "Pater sancte, sic transit gloria mundi" (Holy Father, thus passes the glory of the world). In the course of the Mass, an assisting cardinal placed on the Pope's shoulders the pallium...
...Tiptoe. Angelo Giuseppe Cardinal Roncalli, Patriarch of Venice, was elected as a compromise candidate, at least compared to Pius XII, who was chosen unanimously in less than 24 hours. Vatican insiders are reconstructing the three voting days of the conclave, with their suspenseful smoke signals, this way: two main groups faced each other, one faction under archconservative Cardinal Ottaviani, the other (including the French cardinals) supporting liberal, reform-minded Cardinal Lercaro of Bologna. In the middle, fitting neither the "political" nor the "pastoral" label completely (since they had ample experience of both kinds), were Roncalli and Patriarch of the Armenians...
