Night after night, all summer long, the sleep of tired Turks has been interrupted by the blasts of dynamite. All day long, bulldozers roar and root through Istanbul's cluttered slums and crowded business sections, sweeping away unsightly shacks and once busy office buildings. Bedrooms and bathrooms peep nakedly from the fronts of half-demolished houses. On only 48 hours' notice, tenants are often forced to vacate condemned buildings and find new premises to live or work in. Istanbul's face lifting is costing perhaps $1,000,000 a day, and Premier Menderes is in no mood...
...nearly a decade, those two warring soprano queens, Maria Meneghini Callas and Renata Tebaldi, have dominated the world of European (and U.S.) opera, leaving other postwar singers to peep about to find themselves honorable mention. But slowly, and largely unnoticed in the U.S., old Europe has fashioned a new crop of talented women singers.

Malenkov saw a threat to his own strength, and fought back...
...newsstands this month is arrayed the biggest, bawdiest, bestselling collection of stag magazines in publishing history. Just as Confidential's peep-and-tell formula sent a horde of imitators yipping after pay dirt, the sex-fueled three-year flight of Playboy ("Entertainment for Men") has shaken out a pack of wolf-whistling periodicals. In all, there are more than 40 playkids on the market, and they are fast outstripping the scandal sheets. The most successful of the upstarts are monthlies, with such names as Caper, Nugget, Rogue, Escapade and Cabaret. Like Playboy ( TIME, Sept. 24), they trade...
