...four of his successors, unceasingly protesting their "despoliation," remained in voluntary imprisonment until the Lateran Treaties of 1929. They and their partisans - to Roman society, "Blacks" as opposed to the "Whites" of the Court - would no more have thought of visiting the Quirinal than of going to a Methodist prayer meeting. Until last week. Then, as part of a beautifully staged "reconsecration" of the Lateran Treaties, Pope Pius XII paid a history-making call on the present tenants of the Quirinal...

Author of these plays, written for radio and church performance, and acted last week on the platform in a church in Boulder, Colo., was a masterful, mannish-voiced gynotheocrat, Bishop Alma White, 77.

The voice was Dorothy Maynor's (TIME, Aug. 21), plump, Norfolk-born daughter of a Methodist minister, who had been studying for several years with courtly Manhattan Vocal Coach John Alan Haughton. The picked audience of musicians and critics who heard her run the gamut from Wagnerian hallelujahs to coloratura tinkletones spoke of her as a native Flagstad...
