World War II, Figaro's great anti-Nazi editor, Pierre Brisson, suspended publication in protest against Vichy censorship. Today, Figaro is owned half by Jean Prouvost, publisher of Paris-Match, and half by Industrialist Ferdinand Beghin, but under an agreement worked out after years of controversy, the editorial staff has complete freedom...
...week's Nation cover wearily agreed. "I have two handfuls of wooden fingers after all this typing," complained Hong Kong Bureau Chief Frank McCulloch, who, along with Correspondent Art Zich, had been in Manila weeks ahead of the summit talks, first working on the cover story about President Ferdinand Marcos (TIME, Oct. 21), then planning for the TIME contingent due in for the summit meeting. After coordinating our coverage and doing his own reporting, McCulloch, without a break, hopped aboard a Navy helicopter and flew off to cover another Nation story-the tragic fire aboard the aircraft carrier Oriskany...
Sitting next to Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos at a U-shaped table of gleaming rubbed mahogany in Mala-cafiang Palace, home of the islands' rulers-Spanish, American, and finally Filipino-for a century, Johnson noted that four principles dominated the talks. They were that "aggression must fail," that the allies must press pacification and development programs in South Viet Nam, that the budding spirit of cooperation among Asians must be nurtured, and that peace must be pursued.

German expressionists, too, are supposed to be historical relics these days. Take Oskar Kokoschka, for example. In pre-World War I Prague, they gleefully translated his Czech name literally-"bad weed."

He wrote plays that people called mad, but mainly he painted pictures that few people liked. Hitler unhesitatingly banned him as "degenerate." Kokoschka cheerfully outlived them all; today, at 80, he is more generative than ever...
Fortunately for the Philippines, a hero arrived in the form of Ramon Magsaysay, a tall (5 ft. 11 in.), tough blacksmith's son from Zambales province, who took over as Defense Secretary in 1950. A principal backer in the Cabinet reshuffle: Freshman Congressman Ferdinand Marcos. Magsaysay tackled the Huks with double-barreled dynamism: his green-clad, rubber-booted troops rooted them out of the Luzon jungles and killed them without quarter; defectors were offered land in islands not infested by Huks. By 1954 Magsaysay had quelled the Huks, and won himself the presidency. Then in 1957, Magsaysay died...
