...corruption; a rough year for Federal Judge Robert Bork, nominated to the Supreme Court but humiliatingly rejected by the Senate. Well, time passes. Next year at this time, Ronald Reagan can look forward to packing his bags and heading westward into the sunset, just as he and his fellow heroes used to do in Warner Bros. pictures. Out in Santa Barbara, Calif., he can happily spend his days chopping wood and telling stories about the good old days and, being an honest man, the bad ones...
Most readers may not recognize the style of painting employed for this week's Man of the Year cover portrait, but Mikhail Gorbachev and his fellow Soviets certainly will. The image is actually the top of a lacquered box. For more than 200 years, artisans in a handful of villages in northern Russia have been turning out such delicately painted artifacts. The boxes have attracted collectors around the world. Art Director Rudolph Hoglund was reminded of the art form when he went to Moscow to find a Soviet artist for this week's project. Hoglund quickly decided that a lacquered...
...Stalinist line of the moment, he did so with evident conviction. Lev Yudovich, who graduated two years ahead of Gorbachev, recalls having the young ideologue pointed out to him as someone to fear.

He does not bring up the fact that those people are told what job they can have and they do not have a free choice. He also believes that some things we do in this country deny human rights, and he raises that...
...smoothers, those "who exploited to their minuscule advantage the German fixation about bunks made up flat and square." Mercy is more strained for the Kapos, who were in charge of barracks and work details and whose own lives frequently depended on the ferocity they displayed toward their fellow prisoners. Throughout the Reich, the Nazi system spawned flunkies of almost opera-bouffe dimensions. The megalomaniacal Chaim Rumkowski, a failed Jewish industrialist who, probably with Nazi support, set himself up as the president of the Lodz ghetto, had the power to print his own currency and stamps bearing his portrait...
