Because his plan for the control of atomic energy is civilization's only hope-because in a world sadly lacking in great men he stands with the few-Bernard Baruch is Man of the Year...

He displayed colossal but typical impudence when, as executor of one of the world's most brutal foreign policies, he charged certain circles in the West with using "extreme methods of pressure and violence." His speech was far sharper than...
