...dictator who took office in 1953. He is credited with helping to end the fighting between Liberal and Conservative factions that had claimed 200,000 lives in the bloody violencia, and curbing the power of the elite. His regime, however, is also remembered for unbridled corruption and outrageous strong-arm tactics. Finally, the military sent him scampering into Spanish exile in 1957. Maria Eugenia went into self-exile in the U.S. and gave birth to two sons while living in Miami with her husband, Senator Samuel Moreno Diaz...
When Supersalesmen John Veronis and Nicolas Charney announced plans last month to recast and expand the staid Saturday Review (TIME, Nov. 22), they sought someone to serve as "a strong right arm" to Editor Norman Cousins.

The search ended last week with the selection of TIME Senior Editor Ronald P. Kriss...

Far from a politician in his looks or actions, McCarthy appears lowkeyed in front of large audiences. His speech at the Harvard Law Forum, more like a lecture about the systems of law than a political speech, failed to inspire...
Nicolo Paganini could. According to 19th century writers, Paganini was the greatest violinist who ever lived. His fingers were like steel snakes, his bow arm a saber that sawed through unheard-of technical difficulties. During one performance, swore a Viennese listener, old Lucifer himself appeared beside Paganini, guiding his fingers. His lustrous tone sounded uncannily like the human voice-and no wonder, declared some darkly, for Paganini made his own strings out of human intestines...
