...warm, outgoing man and natural teacher who occasionally used friends and family as models for TIME covers. For the Constitution cover he included several neighbors in Roxbury, Conn., as well as his son Mark (who appeared as a policeman) and TIME art director Rudy Hoglund (a handcuffed miscreant). Even the artist made a rare guest appearance in the portrait (as a pioneer in a coonskin hat). "He felt that when people saw his work they were looking at his soul," says Mark, who himself has painted 14 covers for TIME. Hoglund fondly recalls many long visits with Dick...
...concentrating its fury on one miscreant, the U.S. has sometimes overlooked or even pampered another, potentially greater source of trouble in the same region.

There are a few survivors, notably Professor Mary Ashley, "the opposite of the ugly American," plucked from her Kansas home to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Rumania. Mary attempts to build bridges with the Communists, but "the gods," malevolent figures who use code names...
...town. With the assurance of safe passage out of Manila and asylum in the U.S., Marcos at least chose to leave without shedding blood. If the U.S. were to now leave these men out in the cold,it would make it tough in the future to get other miscreant leaders to abdicate without trying to hang on until the bitter, bloody...
