Drooling Substitutes. One of the massiest satisfiers was ABC's high-flying The Untouchables, a gore-laden drama based only loosely on the exploits of Eliot Ness, a Prohibition era G-man, and specializing in novel ways to kill pretty women. Fortnight ago, the show's cigarette company sponsor quit when its products were boycotted by sensitive Italian-Americans-but The Untouchables is so hot that ABC had drooling substitute sponsors waiting in line...
Some of those who adore the early, sentiment-laden Puccini operas, have decided that Turandot is an "insincere" work. The super-heros are accused of inhuman conduct--which was precisely what Puccini had intended. (In one of his many letters to Giuseppe Adami, the librettist, Puccini had called Calaf and Turandot "almost super-human beings.") However, their inhuman conduct was to become humanized through Liu's example. Calaf's cruel desertion of Liu and Timur and Turandot's vicious behavior towards her subjects and suitors alike was not condoned by Puccini. During the final duet (the part he never completed...
Standing on a snow-laden platform some 180 ft. from the President, TIME photographers snapped 30 telephotolens pictures of the brief swearing-in ceremony. Minutes later, the color film was awash in the darkrooms at the Washington Bureau. When the developing process was finished three hours later, TIME Art Director Michael J.

There he selected one of the prints for the cover and, consulting with the editors in New York, prepared...
Reason would undoubtedly help man cope with the bomb, but the human situation is complicated by another monstrous threat-totalitarian rule, as embodied by Russia: "By one, we lose life; by the other, a life that is worth living." The confrontation of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., each bomb-laden, has led to panaceas, abstractions and frauds in the quest for peace. Peaceful coexistence is one such fraud, according to Jaspers: "Peace never comes from coexistence, only from cooperation." What happens under the formula of coexistence is that "one side is hiding its will to eventual world conquest by coercion...
...political strategy gave Columnist Doris Fleeson a sudden chill. "Efficiently, almost coldly," she wrote, "President-elect Kennedy and his new team of intellectuals, investment bankers, management experts and bright young men are taking over their Washington assignments. But it is already clear that a fascinating and power-laden quality is sadly lacking-and that is personal fervor, with all that it means in warmth, excitement and flair . . . The art or trick of leadership is not just rational action, but articulation of it in ways that reach the public's heart as well as mind. Kennedy seems almost to have...
