This time Gomulka maneuvered with practiced adroitness to insure his own survival and that of Poland's newly proclaimed sovereignty. His supporters encouraged Polish crowds to give full vent to their exuberance at Gomulka's bold expulsion of Soviet Marshal Rokossovsky from the Politburo and Gomulka's personal defiances of Nikita Khrushchev (TIME...
...favorite last week was a dark bay colt named Bold Ruler. "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons, famed trainer of Nashua, had fond hopes of Bold Ruler's succeeding his retired champion. Calumet Farm was close to passing up the race. It had a leggy colt named Barbizon, who had won four out of five of his starts, but he seemed to have fallen into a slump.

...fact that Hals had more than an eagle eye for detail and a bold, slashing technique is shown by his Portrait of a Woman (opposite), a new acquisition of the St. Louis City Art Museum. An outstanding example of Hals's last, or "black," period, it was painted about 1648, when Hals was nearly 70 and had modified his earlier bravura style in favor of a deeper maturity and more finely modeled values. Hals still gave the wealthy young housewife's finery its due, from dangling earrings to her triangular, diaphanous white fichu primly pinned with a golden...
