TWO NEW COLUMNISTS
THIS week two outstanding new features begin in the CATHOLIC HERALD. On page 4, Auberon Waugh, son of Evelyn Waugh, writes the first in a series of weekly columns in which he will air his opinions on what is going on in the world today.
On page 6, our Rome Correspondent, Alan McElwain, begins a weekly column from the Eternal City. In it he will bring his readers the latest news and background information from a city which is nOt only the centre of Christendom but also an increasingly important world capital.
MR. WAUGH was born in Dulverton, Somerset, and educated at Downside, where he won a scholarship in Classics. From there he went to Christ Church, Oxford, with an Exhibition in English and read Politics, Philosophy and Economics.
Commissioned as a National Service Officer in the Royal Horse Guards, he served In Cyprus, where he was badly wounded in a machine-gun accident which led to his retirement from the Army after nine months in hospital. In 1961 he published his first novel "The Foxglove Saga", which attracted considerable attention, and since then has been on the staff of a national daily newspaper.
In July 1961 he married Lady Teresa Onslow, daughter of the 6th Earl of Onslow, K.B.E., MC., and has one daughter, Sophie, aged seven months. They live in Chester Row, Westminster.
ALAN McELWAIN is one of the leading journalists in Rome where he represents the Catholic Digest and several British and Australian and South African newspapers. He has covered the most important events and ceremonies, religious and secular, in the city for many years and is personally known to the leading personalities in Church and State affairs.
These two columns will appear only in the CATHOLIC HERALD.
