...great Csepel iron and steel works, strike leaders told the Russians they had mined all the factories and that if the Russians began shooting workers they would blow up the whole industrial area. At Miskolc (pop. 200,000), coal miners set up a volunteer organization to keep order, mined only enough coal to keep kindergartens and hospitals heated. At Gyor, when some workers said they would go back to work, the town's bakers told them there would be no bread...
...iron riches lay virtually untouched until 1950. when a Bethlehem Steel Corp. subsidiary began mining El Pao. The ore traveled by rail to the Orinoco, then by shallow-draft vessel to deep-water Puerto de Hierro (Iron Port). In early 1954, a U.S. Steel Corp. subsidiary, Orinoco Mining Co., sent its first load of Cerro Bolivar ore down the river. Orinoco Mining has spent $230 million on its Cerro Bolivar mine and the installations that go with it: a trim little company town near the base of the mountain; a river port (Puerto Ordaz); 90 miles of railroad...

In one of the strongest statements of his pontificate, his voice trembling with emotion, he urged free people to "close their ranks as fast as possible and link in a solid public pact all those...
When the touring all-Negro Porgy and Bess company went behind the Iron Curtain last year (TIME, Jan. 9), footloose Author Capote (novels, stories, plays, movies) decided to try his hand at something new, tagged along with the troupe. The reasons why the Soviet Ministry of Culture gave permission for the Porgy tour are obscure, but Capote's own shrewd guess is that the opera's message about people being happy though they have "plenty of nothin'" conforms to the Kremlin notion of the American Negroes as "poverty-pinched and segregated in the ghetto of Catfish...
