...Four foreign ministers were wrestling in Geneva, but nowhere better than in Poland could Khrushchev more cockily display his power. The electric hopes of 1956 had long since been buried in Poland, and though the Roman Catholic Church and the Polish farmer enjoy a degree of freedom unparalleled behind the Iron Curtain, faithful Communist Gomulka had led his nation's policies safely back into the arms of Moscow. Now Khrushchev was back, and everywhere party workers had crowds organized to cheer and applaud him. "I am an old man," said Nikita Khrushchev, 65, rambling on in lengthy speeches...
...years, pornographers, and-most controversially-Communists and Fascists convicted of political crimes during the chaotic years between 1943 and 1946 in Italy.

Then he drifted into movie distributing, and his talent for what he calls the "big, big sell" began to pay off. It is a talent for recognizing the odd and often awful stuff that the public can stomach, buying it, and then peddling it behind a rolling barrage of ads and publicity gimmicks that have...
...hair was white as a breaker's foam. But the brown eyes were as keen as ever behind the crow's-feet wrinkles of half a century spent peering at sky and sea. Ruddy and fit in his natty yacht-club blazer, Cornelius Shields (TIME cover, July 27, 1953) was every inch a blue-water skipper as he relaxed last week in Long Island's Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club and started to instruct 33 experienced sailors about his happy...
