...suave, savvy Axel Springer (TIME, Nov. 11, 1957), the bold bet on the future was the latest step in a spectacular career. The unknown son of a small Hamburg book publisher, Springer brooded out the war in the parks of Hamburg (a respiratory ailment kept him out of military service), decided that the traditionally dark, hearty brew of German journalism needed a bit of tang and a fleck of foam. He founded his empire in 1946 on the radio weekly Hör zu! (Listen), is now sole owner of three magazines (and one-third owner of two more), ranging...

...lower slopes of Pork Chop Hill in central Korea, skip a heartbeat and a stride, and then move grimly forward-^into the meat grinder. And the audience moves with them into this heart-racking film translation of S.L.A. Marshall's classic report on Pork Chop Hill (TIME, Nov. 19, 1956)-that inopportune Thermopylae where the American fighting man wrote in blood, at a moment when the world was sick of the sight of blood, a great, pathetic page in the history of courage...

...Time is the most valuable thing in life, and I don't want to waste it," he said once. But on Nov. 2, 1956-the night after his masterful Suez speech at the U.N.-he suffered the first abdominal pains of his fateful illness. Next day Walter Reed surgeons removed a malignant lesion from the lower intestine. Last February, after a sharp attack of diverticulitis, he flew to London, Paris, Bonn to consult with the West's leaders and to inspire new unity and new firmness on Berlin; he could scarcely walk, scarcely...

Grilled Barbecuers. That barbecue was held on Nov. 14, 1957 on the secluded, 53-acre estate of one Joseph Barbara, 53, ostensibly a soft-drink bottler, at Apalachin (pronounced Apple-achin') in upstate New York. A state cop stumbled onto it almost by accident: he noticed droves of big black Cadillacs and Imperials pouring into town from all directions, traced them to the place where they converged, and barged in on 60 of the most senior statesmen in U.S. organized crime. On sight of a uniform, the hoods fled through the woods like so many Br'er Rabbits...

...post office in Farnham, Surrey, disclosed that months have passed since their most famous old-age pensioner dropped by to collect his weekly government check (basic pension: $7). Odds were not that Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, 71, was forgetful about his stipend. Instead, with his memoirs (TIME, Nov. 3) selling handsomely (some 200,000 copies so far) and his "half pay" as an old soldier, Monty doubtless decided that the trip to the post office is no longer worthwhile: pension checks are reduced in accordance with the pensioner's outside income...
