Moscow's foreign press corps thought Cecilia Nelson Kohonen a fairly harmless person. A small (5 ft. 2 in.), pleasant-faced blonde of 33, she was a native of Michigan who had renounced her U.S. citizenship. She had done secretarial work for Visiting Reporters Edgar Snow and Maurice Hindus, and for the U.S. Embassy. For two years she worked part-time for Robert Magidoff, 42, correspondent for McGraw-Hill, Britain's Exchange Telegraph news agency...

In 1944, when the stock was suspended from trading on-the New York Stock Exchange, it sold for $1 a share...
...makeup and general appearance of the magazine have been improved, and Mary Harrell's two drawings on the inside pages are simple and pleasant. Once again the cover, by Burt Glinn, is most attractive. It shows a handsome Radcliffe girl sitting on some steps eating an ice-cream cone. Wonder if she's going to read the issue...
