...year-old Manhattan executive. His corporate ship is sailing the rough seas of red ink, and members of the staff are being thrown overboard. In Act I, Mel has reached the fingernail-nibbling stage. Will he go next? Equally worried colleagues arrive at the office shortly after daybreak: "They're afraid if you get there late," Mel explains, "they'll sell your desk...
...thrown out as a man." Demanding and visionary, in 1954 she badgered Henry Luce into promising that she would be LIFE'S first photographer to go to the moon. "Even at the peak of her career," recalled Eisenstaedt, "she was willing and eager. She would get up at daybreak to photograph a bread crumb if necessary...

It is the very picture of a spontaneous uprising-capped, when O'Leary's truck sticks in the sand, by the masses putting their shoulder to the wheel and impelling the Leninist vanguard onward. One must, after all, come from the people as well as go to them. This vanguard, unluckily, makes it only as far as the top of the hill, where it is met by the major with a full complement of rifles and mortars...
