...best to make his relations with his editors and writers as personal as possible; many of them, regardless of rank, saw him often. In TIME's earlier years, when the staff was smaller, this was easier. He had a favorite drugstore in Rockefeller Center where he would take the writers working on stories that interested him. There he and the writer would trade views over coffee and doughnuts; sometimes he would make three or four conference trips to the drugstore in a single morning. He was an early riser-even on Sunday, which used to be a working...
...Camp Jackson that the idea for TIME was born. There Hadden and Luce, emerging from the sheltered and privileged enclaves of Hotchkiss and Yale, met the rank and file of America for the first time and discovered the huge gap between those who kept up with events and those who did not. That set them to thinking about getting news and knowledge to a wide variety of people. One night they took a long walk through the drill ground and the piny woods beyond, talking about "the paper" that they might some day found. As Luce later said: "I think...

When he entered the Foreign Service in 1929, he was soon singled out as one of the six most promising entrants. He was sent to Paris to study Russian to prepare for the opening of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. Bohlen worked his way through the diplomatic ranks and finally in 1953 was appointed Ambassador to the U.S.S.R. by President Eisenhower despite the vociferous...
...moral opposition to disguise plain fear. Defense of 2-S will not only fail to prevent student conscription, and will therefore demoral-be the movement; it will, in addition, convince workers they were right all along about students. Instead, while fighting against campus divisions in the form of class rank and draft tests, students must ally themselves with truck drivers, factory workers, long-shoremen, department store clerks. On the one hand we should support their strikes with manpower and by raising funds on campus, support their fights to defeat anti-strike legislation, aid their attempts to organize unions, help them...
