...Adenauer was still negotiating, shrewdly as ever, to form a cabinet that would guarantee him the most workable coalition. (The Socialists are now definitely out; in are the free-enterprising Protestant Free Democrats and the extreme nationalist Deutsche Partei.) From Bonn last week, TIME Correspondent David Richardson cabled: "Neither young nor dynamic, Adenauer is the kind of pre-Nazi politician who did not succumb to National Socialism and who now must lead his country's new life until a new generation, not tainted by Hitler, can rise to power. Adenauer has limitations, but he can at least be counted...
...Giorgio Vannini, a spry, cheerful young priest, was about the most popular man in the tiny mountain village of Affrico. As assistant to the parish priest, who was old and failing, Don Giorgio climbed tirelessly up & down the mountainside, ministering to the flock. For the children he organized picnics and games, in which he himself joined. He made a bowling green for the men, and bowled with them.

...falls last week, some 2,000 laborers were at work on a $43 million hydroelectric project designed to serve the power-starved cities of Brazil's "forgotten corner."

Experts have since despaired of telling some of their portraits apart. The student's are as bold and right as the master's own, with the same purity and flavor, and only a little less body-for with all his talents...
With a Bicycle. At Ebbets Field, a restless buzz rose from the crowd as the first two Cardinals took their turns at bat. Then a slender young man, wearing No. 6 on his back, stepped to the plate. Stan ("The Man") Musial was at bat and the crowd really let go. A hard-bitten minority booed, but they were drowned out by the cheers. It was Brooklyn's sportsmanlike tribute to one of the greatest players in the game. Stan Musial is the highest salaried (at $50,000 a year) and most feared batter in the National League...
