Telling the story of science and invention through people has always been part of TIME's mandate. In 1923, our first year, we did a cover on Frederick Banting, who helped isolate insulin, and the following year we did covers on Sigmund Freud and Leo Baekeland, who both made it onto our list this week. Science and technology have been particular interests of mine: this is the 40th cover related to these fields that we've done since I became managing editor 40 months...
Kazan named my father, filmmaker Leo Hurwitz, before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Those who were named before the committee as having been communists had their careers ruined. Was Kazan a great director? Without a doubt. But should he be awarded a special Oscar? Although my father was not called before HUAC, the mention of his name by Kazan and others was enough to end his career in television and studio films for more than 10 years.

To eat anything that won't require taking out a second and third mortgage, try trekking over the bridge to West Palm Beach, where affordable fare is the norm. Eateries on Clematis Street, the heart of downtown, embellish standard TGI Friday's fare with sundried tomatoes, raspberries or both...
...Kooning, a Dali and a Pollock in the greeting room, that the gallery would be a small museum. It turns out it's an endless hallway filled with pictures of Hef and his Playboy guests. Many of the recent shots were of young stars making the pilgrimage: Leo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Jim Carrey, Courtney Love. But in most of the new pictures, Hef is flanked by a pair of twins, Mandy and Sandy Bentley, who, I was told, "are his girlfriend." I wondered how even an International Playboy breaks it to a woman that he's also seeing her identical...
