ASSOCIATE Editor David B. Tinnin spent three weeks last month traveling through Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union before tackling the job of writing this week's cover story on the state of world Communism.

He will join Metro-Goldwvn-Mayer, where he will start at about $17,000 as manager of planning, a job that will take him into all parts of the company. "I had the opportunity to go into several jobs where it would be pretty much my own ball game, but I did not want that. Either by osmosis or direct learning, I want to find out how you really make...
