...District Court one day last week, gazed slowly over the faces before him. Reino Hayhanen, testifying as a Government witness, told the court that he had come to the U.S. five years ago as a Soviet spy. His boss? Hayhanen pointed a pudgy finger at the expressionless, bird-faced man on trial for his life: Colonel Rudolph Ivanovich Abel, 55, a painter of modest talents, who was picked up by the FBI last summer, accused of being Russia's No. 1 spy in the U.S. (TIME...
...gasoline bills as much as 15% (TIME, July 8). One major surprise: Ford will discontinue its famed two-seater Thunderbird, replace it with the long-planned four-seater model that is longer (113 in. wheelbase v. 102 in. wheelbase). but just as low and rakish.

Caitlin blames America, too, in a different...
...Bird. In Ventura, Calif., Audrey Martin got a divorce on the ground of mental cruelty after she told the judge that toward the end of their 25th year of marriage her husband Albert rarely spoke to her, proved by the fact that their parakeet's favorite saying was now: "Did you hear me, Albert...
