Painter Jamie Wyeth recalled being flown to TIME's presses in Chicago to sign his 1977 Man of the Year painting of Jimmy Carter because it bore no signature when he submitted it. Boris Chaliapin, who produced more than 300 TIME covers, remembered side trips with Subject Julia Child to buy pickle juice for a special Russian soup he served her between work sessions...
