...speculation patrol visited Fedor and discovered why. For 25 years he had made each month some 50 pairs over his quota, peddled them on the side at premium prices. When he retired, he went into business on a big scale. He hired two workers, bought a stamping press (whose clang was drowned out by the nightly concerts). The police found hidden on his property 23 savings account books, gold and other valuables, discovered he owned two other houses, two motorcycles, two autos and a motorboat. Kuznetsov's total worth: some $200,000. His punishment: 15 years in prison...
...campus is an architectural hodgepodge dominated by a football arena seating 65,000. Drawing heavily on the state's population hub, it has 23 parking lots for 7,000 cars.

The U.S. Navy is the most important fact in Norfolk's life (indeed, the U.S. Government provides 40% of Norfolk's payroll)-but many of the city's citizens have never quite got over the feeling that for years prompted them to post "Dogs and Sailors Not Allowed" signs. Part of downtown...
WHILE the explosion of the summit conference last week affected the lives of a lot of people all around the world, few felt the sudden turn of events more directly than TIME Associate Editor Robert C. Christopher. Ten hours before the bulletins began to clang out of Paris about Nikita Khrushchev's torpedoing of the conference, Writer Christopher had put the finishing touches on a cover story about the summit. When the blowup came, he had to pull his story apart and put it together again to assess and analyze the new situation, all under taut deadline pressure. Thirty...
