...fighting front had placed my haystack in direct line of rebel fire. Bullets sang overhead, pished into the haystack, and swished through the corn. It was impossible to move. Then I thought of TIME. For six hours, with an occasional break to survey fighting, fix my glasses on a bombing plane, or consult the French radio operator established behind the nearby farmhouse, I absorbed the Aug. 24 issue, including all ads (actual cover-to-cover reading time about three hours). Just as I was reading Medicine an airplane bomb landed in the corn field. Twice bullets cut our lines. Twice...

Troyanovsky, escorting Soviet People's Commissar for Food Industry Anastas Mikoyan. Capitalists never had a more implacable enemy than Commissar Mikoyan. He is a genuine, bomb-throwing Old Bolshevik, who, with the final Soviet victory, rose to high Communist rank in the Caucasus.
