When the military cracked down last week in Poland, TIME'S team was on the inside, behind the wall of silence, pushing to get the story out. The night that a "state of war" was declared by the Polish government, Correspondents Richard Hornik and Gregory Wierzynski and Photographer Henri Bureau were already in Gdansk, covering what turned out to be the last meeting of the Solidarity union's national commission. Photographer David Burnett, on assignment for TIME, was in Warsaw. In the capital, at least at first, near normality reigned-sunshine, snow and only a few soldiers. "Getting...
...first to make it through was Sygma Photographer Henri Bureau, 41, who was on assignment for TIME. He had photographed Solidarity's last meeting at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk just before martial law was imposed, then made his way back to Warsaw, taking pictures of troop movements through the window of his car. Leaving all his equipment behind, Bureau stuffed 30 rolls of film in his snow boots and rode an unheated train in subzero weather to Berlin with L'Express Correspondent Jacques Renard. Said Bureau: "The East Germans searched everything. They looked under seats with flashlights...

Under a succession of Germanic conductors the young orchestra survived and flourished, moving into its incomparable home, Symphony Hall, in 1900. The modern, French-Russian character of the B.S.O. dates back to 1918, with Conductors Henri Rabaud, Pierre Monteux and, most important, Serge Koussevitzky. During his 25-year reign-from 1924 to 1949-Koussevitzky. During his 25-year reign-from 1924 to 1949 - Koussevitzky presented...
Spanning nearly two decades, Sextet, compiled from diary entries, letters and reminiscences, focuses on Truman Capote, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Elizabeth Bowen, Alice B. Toklas, the Sitwells, and T.S. Eliot. The most comprehensive study, The Picture of Little T.C. in a Prospect, begins with the first meeting between Capote and Brinnin, in Yaddo during the summer of 1947. Fascinated by this small man-child from Alabama, Brinnin scrupulously details Capote's erratic life through the conception of In Cold Blood...
