...history of TIME'S cover portrait on this Easter issue is as touched with mystery as the life of the cover subject. This luminous, tempera-on-wood painting of St. Paul, one of the finest examples of early Italian Renaissance art, hangs in Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The experts do not agree on who the artist was; most attribute it to the 14th century school of Simone Martini in Siena. Yet the master himself was probably not the painter; most likely, it is the work of his brother-in-law and pupil, Lippo Memmi. Experts speculate...
This week, Easter will be celebrated in all sorts and conditions of hardship by some 90,000 Christian missionaries who have turned cheerfully away from the cozy securities of the well-rooted churches to carry the Gospel where there is disease and disaster, blinding ignorance and binding poverty. Hardship is their choice, as it was Paul's-who once flung a sarcastic outburst on armchai-Christianity at the Corinthians...
Conspiracy of Hearts (Rank; Paramount), an Easter hare from Britain that should have a grand run on the big U.S. circuits, is one of those mercifully rare, inexcusably entertaining sentimental melodramas that leave the customers wondering whether to scream, sob, sniffle, snicker, groan or have a heart attack.

...nation the drop was 17% below the 1959 level. A blizzard closed most businesses in Atlanta last week, forced many department stores to postpone sales. Sighed one auto dealer: "A man has to be pretty desperate to shovel his way into a dealer's showroom." Another factor: Easter will fall three weeks later this year than in 1959, postponing much retail buying. Sears, Roebuck President Charles Kellstadt said Sears is having an unimpressive first quarter, but he still expects sales in 1960 to be as good as last year. Said he: "We'll have to wait a while...
