Last week Delgado disclosed that he had indeed returned, but only briefly and ingloriously. Back in Brazil after a secret twelve-day visit to Portugal that was more comic odyssey than triumphal march, he confessed that he had vainly tried to join the abortive New Year's coup at Beja (TIME, Jan. 12). It proved to be, he said, a most "untimely return...
...campaign, he effectively used the charge that U.S. prestige had plum meted during Dwight Eisenhower's Ad ministration. In fact, the U.S. had under Ike, and retains under Kennedy, a high reservoir of good will in the free world -as Kennedy saw for himself in his triumphal trips to London, Paris and, more recently Latin America. During the presidential campaign, Kennedy also made much of the "missile gap" between the U.S. and the Soviet Union; within a few weeks after he took office, the missile gap somehow seemed to disappear (although the President was publicly annoyed at Defense Secretary...
...Buck Well Spent. Once a buck is bagged, many a hunter makes a beeline for Hurley, Wis. (pop. 2,763), affectionately known as the "Tijuana of the North."

Unfortunately, many of these episodes are shamelessly scanted and most of Christ's miracles-certainly the most dramatic moments of his ministry-are inexplicably omitted. The time...
Franco last week returned to Burgos, a grey and Gothic city festooned with flags, flowers and triumphal arches. With him went almost everyone of importance in Spain: Cabinet ministers in frock coats, generals and admirals weighted down with medals, Falangists in blue shirts and white coats, and tens of thousands of Castilian peasants, stiffly dressed in their Sunday best. After High Mass and Te Deum in the 13th century cathedral, Dictator Franco went to the Plaza Mayor and told the crowd, in his reedy monotone, that he had defeated Communism and given his countrymen more than two decades of peace...
