...appreciation to TIME for devoting so much space to the small-circulation Paris Review and for recognizing the value of such magazines. Thomas H. Guinzburg, one of the Review's owners, should have been listed as a founder...
...least likely people in the world to hold a convention are the followers of famed Analytical Psychologist Carl Gustav Jung (TIME, Feb. 14, 1955). Mostly professed introverts, they look disapprovingly on the modern world's passion for extraversion, "togetherness" and "other-directedness."

Members in good standing donate a tenth of their incomes to the church. Five thousand missionaries from...
...corporate superstructure as any schoolboy could dream up during a dull study period. The son of a middling prosperous shoe merchant, Belle declined an offer to go in his father's business ("Whoever got rich fitting shoes?"). Instead, he started out legitimately enough as a co-founder of the Eastern Investment and Development Corp., formed to specialize in industrial uplift of moribund towns; he helped revive tiny (pop. 1,800) Saltsburg, Pa. with a campaign that attracted three new industries with a payroll of about $1,000,000 annually.
