...hungry. The first TIME cover story about a Russian, on July 14, 1924, dealt with Aleksei Rykov, President of the Soviet People's Commissars, who had just issued one of those typical, promissory reports filled with soaring but questionable statistics. This week's cover article on Leonid Brezhnev, President of the Soviet Union, is TIME'S 70th on a Russian subject.
