Everyone Trembled. In 1930, while he was studying metallurgy at Moscow's Industrial Academy and rising swiftly in party ranks, Khrushchev was sent to deliver funds to a newly collectivized farm in the Samara region. He and his companion were appalled at conditions there, he recalls. "The farmers were starving to death. When we told them that the money was allocated for farm equipment, they told us they weren't interested in equipment-what they wanted was bread...
...seize and confiscate every issue of La Cause they can find. But the sly old iconoclast long ago found a secret printing press to publish about 5,000 copies. On publication day, Sartre and a few friends (including Film Directors Jean-Luc Godard and Louis Malle, and his longtime companion, Simone de Beauvoir) pick up the papers, transport them to a side street near St.-Germain-des-Prés, and begin to peddle them.

She divides her attentions between young Russ (Bill Mitchell) and singing in the choir of the nearby Anglican church. Otherwise her thoughts are confined to romantic musings about herself and her relationship with God. They are, that is, until she discovers the Augustinian monk (Donald Sutherland) who temporarily takes over as choir director...
...literally any means is justified by the end." Leila Khaled, the P.F.L.P.'s almond-eyed, two-time skyjacker, is a case in point. When Leila and an accomplice attempted to seize an El Al 707 in September, they were stopped cold by gunfire from El Al guards (Leila's companion was killed). Now back in Beirut, where she cuts a modish figure in floppy hats and close-fitting slacks, Leila is downright indignant about the El Al security men. "They had no sense of responsibility," she complained to TIME Correspondent Gavin Scott last week. "Bullets were flying all over...
