...windswept cornfield near the aptly named Minnesota farming community of Pillager last week, a farmer placed the barrel of a 22-cal. pistol against the head of a three-month-old calf and pulled the trigger, felling the animal instantly. Another farmer then slit the calf's jugular vein. Its carcass was dragged to a freshly dug trench and kicked in. Another calf was shot and disposed of in the same manner, then another and another, until by midafternoon almost 300 head had been destroyed and piled in the pit. The day's last kill was a sackful...
...Jugular Vein. Some of Iran's Arab neighbors wonder whether the Shah really needs all that expensive hardware and worry about his ambitions. "With each generation of weaponry," one Pentagon expert observes, "his defense perimeter expands." In answer, Iranians point out that they share a 1,100-mile border with the Soviet Union; and the Russians, they argue, have never really given up their interest in gaining control of Iran's oilfields some day. Iran also has an inimical and testy neighbor in Iraq, which has been massively supplied with Soviet weaponry. The forces of the two states...

(The principal witness against Hiss was ex-Communist and former TIME Senior Editor Whittaker Chambers.) Cross remained convinced of his client's innocence, and was preparing a motion to re-admit Hiss, who is now lecturing and writing, to the Massachusetts bar when he succumbed to cancer in Brookline, Mass...
...maximum effectiveness, the psych requires a jugular instinct for a rival's weakness-his most intimate ambition, an insubstantial boast or a small, fresh scar-and a sure knowledge that except on certain social or sporting occasions, the only boy on the home team is yourself. Jack Nicholson has been rattling and roughing up the competition since he started acting out in Hollywood in the late '50s-at first with very little luck. Then came a gradual success that right now is soaring...
