With only 65,000 Uighur and Kazakh party members today, the Chinese Communists from the beginning relied not on persuasion but on the People's Liberation Army to lead Sinkiang through what the party called its "difficult period of rehabilitation." In that difficult period, landowners were dispossessed and shot, tight food rationing imposed and 12,000 "incorrigibles" shunted into six big forced-labor camps near Kuldja, Nilki and Kunes...
...while his queen and her ladies in waiting sewed silk and velvet costumes for the new figures. One of the most striking of the Neapolitan presepios, owned by Collector Marcello Hallecker of Naples, is shown on TIME'S cover this week. Typical of many a presepio of the period, the scene has been arranged on a replica mountainside 12 ft. across. The manger itself is all but obscured by the teeming, noisy crowd that moils about the inn, oblivious of the vertiginous angels or of the event they herald. And yet the actions of the ingeniously lifelike, exquisitely crafted...
...loss statement, but it won't have any profit statement to worry about by 1970." Mitchell knows from experience that research pays off at a prodigious rate. "That means that $100 spent on research will bring back anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000 over a 25-year period. Keep the research going and those other fellows will copy."

He served his apprenticeship as a printer, journeyed to England and back, published the New England Courant, married, formed the "Junto," an intellectual self-improvement club of like-minded Philadelphians, and brought out the first three of the famed Poor Richard's Almanacks. Franklin also set down his basic religious outlook, a kind of deism that made him a logical child of the rationalist Enlightenment. Instinctively a yea-sayer to life, Franklin came very close...
...chief trouble is once again book trouble, and the sense of a period musical in treatment as well as subject matter. Saratoga tells a tale of two young fortune seekers: an illegitimate New Orleans beauty and a ranchman gypped out of his inheritance, who unromantically team up to get ahead in the world but become the victims of romance. In telling its tale, Saratoga snows cliches, trips over its own gaudy furnishings, and interminably keeps a heroine who was born out of wedlock from entering it. An added trouble: lacking all freshness and zip, the show possesses no compensating charm...
