Copley clearly has his work cut out for him before his new paper will be as strong as he would like. For his investment, he found only one pencil sharpener in the entire office. The photography darkroom was a closet, and prints were dried in the men's room. "When the editor wanted to have an editorial staff meeting," says New Publisher Carlyle Reed, "he would sit down and think. He was it." Adds Assistant City Editor Tom Horton: "We were so shorthanded you couldn't even consider getting sick." Copley plans to pump in as much...
Interesting Defect. Pablo's art requires the touch of a miniaturist, the steadiness of a demolition expert. He has both, plus an assorted palette of six watercolor shades and seven sable brushes of various sizes and shapes-shaving-brush thick for blush powder, pencil-thin for under-eyeliner. Eyes are made up as much as possible: double, even triple rows of false eyelashes ("Doesn't everybody own at least three pairs?"), and the rest a subtle blending of watercolor tones: black eyeliner, then white, light brown, dark brown (in the crease of the eyelid), light brown again, ending...
...cries of shortage and mismanagement in folksy stride. At his press conference, he drawled comfortably: "We recognize that every day you do not have all you want, where you want it, when you want it in an operation as big as the Government conducts.

...Tinted Steam." "Indistinctness is my forte," Turner declared while whirling his images into vortexes of color. On occasion, nature vied with his vision. When he was 59, London's Houses of Parliament were gutted by fire. Turner, who rarely used more than a pencil to sketch out-of-doors, rushed to the bank of the Thames to brush out nine water-colors of the burning buildings (see opposite). He even blotted his copybook pages against each other in his eagerness to capture that dramatic scene. A romantic's delirium, it was the apocalypse brought to reality-the flames...
Industrious Mrs. Highet's first casual attempt at fiction, titled Above Suspicion and published under her maiden name, Helen MacInnes, became a runaway bestseller and a first-rate film. Since then, periodically and with unhurried ease, she has sat down with pencil and paper and turned out such bestselling yarns of international intrigue as Assignment in Brittany, North from Rome, Decision at Delphi and The Venetian Affair. All told, her twelve novels have sold more than 4,000,000 copies and have been translated into 19 languages. Five have been sold to the movies...
