...portrait of Mexico's President Adolfo López Mateos, TIME turned to one of Mexico's leading artists, Rufino Tamayo. A stout antiCommunist, Tamayo has long been frozen out of the bread-and-butter work of decorating the public buildings of his native land by the Communist clique of muralists headed by David Siqueiros and the late Diego Rivera. As a result, he leads the life of a wandering expatriate, painted this week's cover in Paris. He recently finished another Paris commission-a mural depicting Prometheus bringing heavenly fire to men, in the newly opened...
Statistics show that many of the dreams are coming true. Mexico now prefers bread to the corn tortilla. In 1937 the average consumer ate 41 lbs. of wheat bread a year; now he eats 62 lbs.

He spends money to see movies, bullfights and soccer games. In 1936 the average Mexican spent 1.42 pesos on entertainment; last year it was 7.05. He begins riding, if only a bicycle. Bike registrations climbed from...
...most dramatic literary sensations of the decade in Russia.

Last week the American Council on Education issued a warm little pamphlet (College Teaching As a Career) that allows three noted U.S. teachers to recruit in their own way-by describing the rich satisfactions they find in their work. Teaching rewards...
...shared a filthy hut at the rear of a cafe with Jeannot and the biffin's sidekick, an evil-tempered, alcoholic tramp named Tintin, who has since died of delirium tremens. Rebours' total expense account of about $19.50 included 14 Camembert cheeses, 20 loaves of bread, six helpings of fried potatoes bought to celebrate Jeannot's discovery of some marketable shoes, plus 190 glasses of wine downed to keep up with his tipsy pals. But just as Philanthropist Walter intended, Rebours' dip in the depths paid off. He was so successful at putting his experience...
