...TIME ' correspondents, writers and editors enjoy contact with most of the world's newsmakers. Recently, we started a new program of inviting some of these newsmakers to address the entire staff of the magazine. So far this year, our guests have included New York City's mayor, John Lindsay, and Comedian-Politician Dick Gregory. Last week TIME'S 300-seat auditorium had an S.R.O. crowd for William F. Buckley Jr., witty archconservationist of conservatism...
Buckley's verbal agility never flagged all through the question-andanswer period that followed his talk. Asked what he thought would happen to Mayor Lindsay's political career if he were appointed to the Senate, Buckley disposed of his former opponent with a casual "I don't know. Where will he give fewer speeches?" And what about ex-Mayor Robert F. Wagner's appointment as Ambassador to Spain? Nothing wrong with that, said Buckley of his former Democratic nemesis' new assignment. "After all, he doesn't have to run Madrid...
...impress on his Soviet host the fact that, as he put it, "the East German measures are damaging and place a burden on efforts to reach a detente."

Indeed a difficult part for an actor, calling for a subtle combination of gentle foolishness and hardheaded Italian moxie. So naturally Producer Stanley Kramer picked an Irishman, born in Mexico, who hails from Hollywood: Anthony Quinn, 52, who has been studiously preparing for his role as the rascally wine merchant by tippling Cinzano...
...five years," growled Broadway Impresario David Merrick. 55, "and there'll be nothing left of the theater when it's over." By the second night of a strike by the Actors' Equity, Broadway was dark, and all 19 of its shows were closed. At that point, Mayor John Lindsay, an avid theater buff himself, made an entrance in answer to a union appeal, and hosted all-night negotiations at his Gracie Mansion residence. Finally, the surprise ending: settlement of the strike (terms: weekly wage increases of $15-$25, protection of U.S. actors against replacement by aliens...
