Last week, just before the issue came to a vote, Alves rose to implore his colleagues to refuse "to turn over to a small group of extremists the cleaver for their beheading." One by one the 369 assembled Congressmen left their seats in Brasilia's modern Chamber of Deputies to deliver the ballots. When the count was in, the government had suffered a stunning defeat. Nearly 100 of Costa e Silva's followers crossed party lines to vote with the opposition. By a margin of 216 to 141, the deputies quashed the government's motion to lift...
...puzzling case, young Sigi. He was one of those comets in the musical sky that turn out to be meteors, burning out and falling below the horizon. Born in Sofia, he studied under Bulgaria's foremost composer, Pantcho Vladigerov, and made his way to Manhattan's Juilliard School by way of Turkey and Israel. In 1948 he won the prestigious Leventritt award. His career was launched in a blaze of critical superlatives. But over the years, instead of flourishing on the concert circuit, he faded.

Yet to most of the All-America athletes, the only thing that counts is the cool assessment by the pro scouts. Since 1958, TIME'S All-America has been based on reports from the scouts. Several Heisman Trophy winners have not made the team; a good many small-college players who never made anyone else's All-America have lived up to the scouts' estimates...
...prototype comes 15 months after CBS announced Goldmark's plans for a revolutionary "educational art form" that could turn every TV set into a teaching machine. Though an EVR owner will not be able to record his own programs, he will be able to order pre-made films on almost any topic. In theory, a family equipped with EVR will become a self-contained educational center: Junior will study the sex life of grasshoppers (the subject Goldmark drolly demonstrated last week), Father will settle back for an evening of golf lessons or an audio-visual version of LIFE...
