...Army General Alberto Ruiz Novoa, 48, Colombia's war minister and its most compelling public figure (TIME, Dec. 11). Commander of Colombia's small force in the Korean War, he established a reputation as a reformer in uniform after Valencia brought him into the Cabinet in 1962. At the time, the country was plagued by poverty-fed badlands banditry that had been going on unabated for more than a decade. Ruiz Novoa initiated a program of civic action by the army to help peasants improve their lot. He also reorganized Colombia's army into what is today...
...sale, which has been long in coming (TIME, Oct. 9), is the result of Niarchos' growing disenchantment with his argonaut's role. The world has become all too stable for him: there has been no Korean or Suez crisis lately to drive up oil prices and tanker rates. Niarchos did make a bundle by hauling oil for the Russians, notably during the Cuban missile crisis.

A soldier for 40 years, Taylor led the 101st Airborne Division at Normandy, was superintendent of West Point, commanded U.S. troops in postwar Berlin and during the Korean war.

President Kennedy called him back to duty in 1961, made him his personal military adviser, then...
...revolver, a solid-gold Rolls-Royce, and a gold-plated girl friend. He is reputedly a "bullionaire," but still he wants more gold; he wants all the gold in the world. To get it, Goldfinger has assembled a ghastly crew of criminal specialists. Among them: Oddjob (Harold Sakata), a Korean karatist whose hands are so strong he can crush a golf ball between thumb and forefinger; and Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman), the person who flies lead plane in Goldfinger's private air force. With their assistance, Goldfinger intends to execute a criminal masterpiece. "Tomorrow," he blandly announces, "we will...
