When Philadelphia Negroes went on a rioting, looting rampage that ended only last week, there was only one Negro leader who could conceivably have stopped them. He is Cecil Moore, 49, president of the Philadelphia chapter of the N.A.A.C.P., the city's busiest Negro criminal lawyer, and a brilliant but frightfully demagogic...
Diana Menuhin was not exaggerating. More like an Olympic sprinter in training than a 48-year-old violin virtuoso on tour, Yehudi Menuhin stays religiously in trim with yoga and health foods. Not that he is in any danger of getting fat. The busiest, fastest-moving musician on the international festival circuit, Menuhin has performed in some 50 concerts from Tel Aviv to Glasgow this summer, has also fulfilled a dizzying round of recording, teaching and conducting engagements. The crescendo comes each year in June and August, when Menuhin presides over two top-notch festivals, at Gstaad in Switzerland, which...
...preserve for the rich. A 40-mile stretch of sea, sand and shore towns, the Hamptons have attracted artists ever since the 1870s, when Winslow Homer went there to paint impressionistic oils of ladies dipping their toes in the surf. Last week the art colony was at its midseason busiest. The oldest colonial, visionary Architect Frederick Kiesler, 67, was at work on a 46-ft. sculpture despite a recent heart attack. Sculptor Costantino Nivola, 53, a swarthy Sardinian who likes to cast concrete abstracts in a huge sand pit on his 40-acre property, was busy making a small sculpture...

Of New York's 30,000 junkies, 15,000 to 20,000 live in Harlem. "I was just born black, poor and uneducated, and you only need three strikes all over the world to be out, and I have nothing to live for but this shot of dope," says one addict. But the habit is costly: $1 for a marijuana "reefer," $3 for a "bag" (a single grain of heroin...
...forget that in a decisive period for France, Maurice Thorez - whatever his actions before or after-followed my call and, as a member of my government, contributed to the maintenance of national unity." On the day of the funeral, police blocked off 3½ miles of Paris' busiest boulevards, and half a million people stood in the sweltering heat as the mile-long procession headed for Père-Lachaise. Ahead of the flag-draped coffin strode ranks of miners from Thorez' native north, wearing red scarves and white helmets. Behind the hearse walked row after...
