TIME'S PEOPLE section no longer begins with the phrase "Names make news," but the aphorism is still apt for the entire magazine. To report events and the underlying issues is our main mission; in fact, during highly complex times, issues and ideas are more important than ever. But TIME'S editors and writers also constantly strive to tell their stories in terms of people. They look for the grand gestures and the little affectations that make a characterization live. The dramatis personae this week feature Sister Anita Caspary and Former Bishop James P. Shannon, who symbolize the deepening disaffection that is gripping the Roman Catholic clergy. The cover story was written by Mayo Mohs and edited by John Elson from material gathered by Researchers Margaret Mary Bach and Clare Mead and numerous TIME correspondents, including Wilton Wynn, Sandra Burton and Richard Ostling.

Elsewhere in the magazine, TIME'S readers will find many other stories that revolve around people, some famous, others merely fascinating, all very different from each other.

Which gossip columnist boasts his own coat hook at Manhattan's Four Seasons and the singular distinction of having loaned Sophia Loren his thermal underwear? (See PRESS.)

What American painter was signally honored with a one-man show at the most prestigious gallery of all --the White House? (See ART.)

Who is the track star who "got stoned" on champagne the night before a meet and went out the next morning with "a hideous hangover" and ran the fastest 220 of his life? (See SPORT.)

In Paris, the defendants' attorney ridiculed the charge, saying that "it would have made Francois I, Henri IV and Louis XV jealous." How so? (See THE WORLD.)

College students, hard-pressed to stay abreast of their required reading, have long considered TIME an essential way of keeping on top of current events. Today more than 3,000,000 students read TIME every week, and for a growing number of them, their involvement with the magazine does not stop there. Last year almost 1,000 students on campuses around the world earned pocket money and gained business experience selling Time Inc. publications at special college rates.

Every spring students are signed up for the next school year. Those who want to become campus representatives should write for applications to TIME College Bureau, Time & Life Building, Rockefeller Center, New York, N.Y. 10020.
