...space of a few minutes. Nikita Khrushchev had brushed aside the myth of collective leadership and gathered to himself formal command over both the Soviet government and the Communist Party. No man except Stalin had held both jobs simultaneously before (Malenkov held both for a few transitional days in 1953 ), and even Stalin, who could have taken the premiership any time he chose, found it wise to wait 19 years for what...
Colonel Simbolon, who marched off with one battalion to take command of the rebel forces in North Sumatra, last week was back in Bukittinggi without 1) his troops, 2) report of victory. In the eastern foothills of the Sumatra mountains, government troops from the oil center of Pakanbaru had pushed the rebels back within 70 miles of Bukittinggi.

Under hypnosis, the patient was told by Psychiatrist Kelsey to put his left arm across his abdomen and lock it. He did-so successfully that attendants could not move it.

Desked in Honolulu, he strikes for another command and sails for revenge. But there is a hitch: the command that Gable gets had previously been ticketed to Lieut. Burt Lancaster, who stays aboard as Gable...
...romance with G.M. Kudner hoped not. Though the agency lost nearly a third of its billings with Buick's departure, it still had hopes of holding on to its remaining General Motors' accounts (which made up nearly 40% of billings), immediately announced a change in top command. Last week Kudner knew the worst-all reconciliation had failed. Out went two more G.M. accounts, Frigidaire and the G.M.C. Truck and Coach Division, billing about $9,000,000 a year...
