...Eiffel Tower: the nation's favorite automobile. For 21 years, the Citroën has been the same familiar model, a low design well ahead of its time, with independent wheel suspension and front-wheel drive. Until 1951 it came in only one color-black; then it reluctantly added grey, grey-black and blue-black. Nevertheless, since 1934 Frenchmen have bought more than 1,000,000 Citro...
...First prize ($2,000) went to France's Alfred Manessier, 44, for his 5-ft.-wide Crown of Thorns (opposite), a radiant liturgical painting in which a molten skull, mouth agape, glows hot beneath a blue-black thorn crown.

Rice piled up on the farms for lack of trucks, while in town 25,000 factory workers were unemployed and hungry. In Seoul's tearooms the word went round: "The old man is beaten...
...keep them down on the sound stage after they've read Ernest Hemingway? Ever since he thrilled to The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, the famous Hollywood director, John Wilson, had been burning in his soul to look down the sight of a .475 into the little blue-black eyes of a charging elephant...
