...editor of TIME's International and Foreign News sections, Ways, who is a tall, tousled, eccentrically uneccentric individual with a propensity for thinking on his feet and working late, has a full measure of responsibility for TIME's presentation of the news in these highly controversial fields. Fortunately, in this postwar world, he does not have to make an argument that foreign and international news is important to U.S. readers. He does, however, have some other problems, such...
...split into four groups, each with its own presidential aspirant. The leader of the Batllista faction, suntanned ex-farmer Tomás Berreta, 70, had the best chance to win. The Blanco (White) Party had dissidents, too, but for the moment they were united behind the presidential candidacy of tall, white-thatched Luis Alberto de Herrera, 73. Herrera, "last of the South American caudillos" ("chiefs"), had for 30 years given the Blancos their nationalistic, isolationist tone.

Last June, after ten years' service, 50-year-old Dr. McKee resigned because of "fatigue." Next month, a new rector will take over: tall (6 ft. 3 in.), bespectacled Edward Miller, 31. Born in St. Louis, he was graduated from Harvard (where he was fencing captain), studied for a year at Cambridge, then at New York's General Theological Seminary before taking his present job as assistant rector of Christ Church in Cincinnati...
...inhabitants of the little town of Caravate on the Lombardy plain, Don Luigi Milani was no ordinary parish priest. Thirty-five years old, tall, extremely handsome, he was the greatest athlete in the whole countryside, the leading figure in welfare and charity work, a convincing speaker with enlightened views. He was popular even with Communists, whom he invited to his house to discuss politics and religion...
