At midnight Gomulka drops his pencil, closes the manila folder on an unfinished speech, a lone late-staying assistant throws a dark overcoat over Gomulka's thin shoulders, and he clumps out to his ZIS limousine, pausing a moment to look across the streets and roofs of Warsaw shining with frost. Not in his office, or in intellectual circles, but out there in the dark bitter cold is the problem he must...
...they give the customer a pretty fair run for his money. MacRae lays his wad on fast women, Borgnine on slow horses, and Dailey gives his paycheck to the ever-loving wife.

And, as one adviser said, "I've never given any so-called...
Uncharacteristically reticent, Artist Diego Rivera, 69, returned home to Mexico City after six months in Moscow, where he got radioactive cobalt treatment for skin cancer. In a rakish astrakhan hat and heavy overcoat, Communist Rivera politely gave terse answers to newsmen's questions. Was he completely cured? "Completely. I am a different man. The cobalt saved me." What's going on inside Russia? "The doctors are curing cancer." Will there be a major war soon? Muttered Rivera cryptically: "That is what many want." And then he was gone...
