This week's cover, Steinberg's first for TIME, shows the artist in his more intricate mode of expression. He sought to convey his view of space communications as a maze of reflections of one thing to another.

His drawing, both asuming and sobering, is one to study and ponder...
...President John Kennedy said shortly after the abortive 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion: "Let the record show that our restraint is not inexhaustible. Should it ever appear that the inter-American doctrine of noninterference merely conceals or excuses a policy of nonaction-if the nations of this hemisphere should fail to meet their commitments against outside Communist penetration-then I want it clearly understood that this Government will not hesitate in meeting its primary obligations, which are to the security of our nation.

...they see it, and to tell it obliquely, comically, and ironically-which is perhaps the only way it can be told. They also wish to close the gaps between the actors and the play and between the audience and the dramatic production. In the few places where they fail, the audience unknowingly receives a respite of puzzlement. (What does it mean?) But where each succeeds, the audience is given an intense image of itself, mercilessly exposed under the blazing...
