...Francis Spellman had journeyed about 15,000 miles, stopped in 16 lands;* he would go on to India and China. He had chatted with soldiers in Britain, given alms in Malta, scanned the front in Tunisia, prayed in Jerusalem. Yet he had spent many hours in secret talk with statesmen and dignitaries, and around his plump, energetic figure swirled a fog of rumor and speculation. In that fog last week the Allied and the Axis world thought it could see great significance: the Vatican expected and desired a United Nations victory...
...Davies and Joe Stalin but over something bigger it reflected: the growing good fellowship of Russia, Britain and the U.S. Success on the battlefronts and the Comintern's dissolution (TIME, May 31), heady as a couple of beakers of vodka, had put all in jovial humor. The statesmen saw what a long way the three Allies had come within a year. The crusty old reserve was melting. A new understanding seemed dawning. Pushkin & Byron. The keynoter was Russia. Gone was yesteryear's cry for a second front, yesterday's disdain for the Anglo-American military effort...

Junior Achievement's somewhat pompous title matches the humorless tone of its national house organ, Achievement (mostly written by J.A.'s elder statesmen), which sags from too much uplift about working hard to succeed. But J.A.'s kids have always been anything but ponderous. Founded 24 years ago by Horace Augustus Moses (head of Strathmore Paper Co.) to teach business methods to adolescents before they went to work, J.A. has done just that for more than 75,000 youngsters. The Moses formula still prevails: up to 15 boys, girls or both, backed by their families or local...
