...Khrushchev portrait is Artist Safran's 13th cover for TIME (others: Queen Elizabeth, Jack Paar, Ludwig Erhard, Mao Tse-tung). Born in Brooklyn 35 years ago, he studied art at Pratt Institute near his home, served with aviation engineers in the China-Burma-India theater during the war (rode a truck on the Burma Road), turned to commercial art and book-jacket illustration after the war.

The company kicked off with Goodrich & Hackett's The Great Big Doorstep, and followed it with two of Eugene Ionesco's avant-garde one-acters: The Lesson; and Jack, or the Submission. Neither of the last two is in a class with Ionesco's The Chairs; but both are intriguing if too drawn out dramatizations of his thesis that people just cannot communicate sufficiently through language.
