Last week Mike Cowles reversed this pattern. From now on, he will live in his bachelor apartment in Manhattan's Waldorf Towers (he was recently divorced), commute to Iowa every other weekend. As Cowles moved into the editor's office at Look, jovial, 42-year-old Harlan Logan, his editor since 1942, moved out.

The pudgy onetime theatrical producer (who looks like a jovial Eric von Stroheim) denounced Mussolini, of course, but he also said: "You cannot govern without exercising dictatorial power."

...best-known polio paralytic in the U.S. was rounding out his tenth year in an iron lung. Jovial, 35-year-old Fred B. Snite Jr. had set a record: no other infantile paralysis victim in like case has survived more than a year. Last week, attended by his pretty wife Teresa and his three pretty little daughters (Pinkie, 6; Katherine, 3; Mary, 1), he was trundled onto a special railroad car in Chicago for his annual winter trip to Miami Beach...
