...cobblestone capital of Tegucigalpa this week, military officers shouldered aside Supreme Chief of State Julio Lozano Diaz. The framed election, which Lozano staged to transform himself into a legal President (TIME, Oct. 22), proved too raw for Honduras' younger, U.S.-trained officers to choke down. All last week Colonel Hector Caraccioli, 34, a U.S.-trained pilot who commands the air force, and Major Roberto Galvez, 31, an engineering officer who studied at Louisiana State University, talked it over with aging (71) Don Julio. Then, lining up support from General Roque J. Rodriguez, 55, commander of the country...
...struggle for integration in the past has often seemed a test of how much rebelliousness national leaders would permit the South.

Among the most influential ads of the past decade, thanks to Baron George Wrangell of the black eye patch, have been the Hathaway Shirt series; for a modest $300,000 in four years, Hathaway boosted sales more than 65%.

Workers in nationalized mines find no greater joy or increased incentive in the knowledge that the mines are theoretically "theirs." Even...
Delicate Balance. Hickling writes of the sea and his ungainly craft with the accuracy of a seaman, the eye of a poet, and a prose that suggests he profitably studied Conrad. His descriptions transform the experiences of the sea from something noted into something experienced; though they sometimes teeter on the brink of preciosity ("A filibuster of surf"), they rarely lose their delicate balance. Sample: "About the ship the sea resounded with fantastic whispers, occasionally erupting against the shivering bows; it moved like a beast asleep...
