...months since Castro's longtime second-in-command, Che Guevara, disappeared from sight, the question of his whereabouts has haunted Latin America. He has been reported executed by Castro, killed in the Dominican Republic's 1965 civil war and fostering guerrilla warfare in half a dozen Latin American countries. Last week the Bo livian government presented "proof" that Che is, or at least was, in Bolivia, leading a Cuban-trained band of 60 guerrillas who have been operating in the country's remote southwestern jungles since March...
...retired its last piston plane in 1960, has attracted passengers with imaginative fare plans. Last year passenger totals rose 26.8%, to 848,000, and the company earned $530,000 on revenues of $18 million. Much credit goes to Henry who, before going to Pacific last July, had been second-in-command to Founder-Presdent Edmund Converse, 60.

In February, Pope Paul named France's progressive Archbishop Gabriel Garrone as second-in-command of the conservative Congregation of Seminaries, which keeps a close watch on the curriculums of the Roman schools. Last week another hopeful...
...give Burton sturdy opposition, Oskar Werner, as Mundt's itchy second-in-command, makes that "clever little Jew" a prismatic study of ambition thwarted. Claire Bloom, though too prettily cast as the leftist English librarian who befriends Leamas, nonetheless plays innocence abroad with life-or-death urgency. In Spy's superblend of suspense and philosophical despair, the girl is the last to know that her lover was already a cold-war casualty when she met him. The anonymous men who live by violence, Leamas tells her savagely, "are a bunch of seedy squalid bastards, henpecked husbands, sadists, queers...
