...IXth Olympiad in Amsterdam, Holland, last week. It was he who was chiefly responsible for the revival of modern Olympiades in 1896. "Once again it's America against the world."-Typical statement in U. S. newspapers. And so the IXth Olympiad opened in Amsterdam's red brick stadium in the presence of Prince Consort Henry and Master of Ceremonies Baron A. Schimmelpenninck Van der Oye of Doorn. There was a parade of 44 nations, 4,250 athletes, beginning with the Greeks and continuing alphabetically. Cuba was represented by a lone white man; Haiti by a lone Negro. Egyptians...
Keenest excitement kindled over the last agenda item. It flung on the carpet the major issue of contemporary Russia-the issue between Soviet Dictator Josef Stalin and the great Communist whom he has exiled (TIME, Jan. 23, 30), famed Leon Trotsky, creator of the Red Army. Stalin stands for the more reactionary and Trotsky for the more revolutionary elements among Russian Communists.

Once the process is perfected, they are simple, economical to make. The camera is fitted with a three-color filter: red, green, blue; the red, green, blue rays coming from the subject march each through its own section, pass through the main camera lens; fall upon the tiny film lenses. These act as policemen, guiding each light ray to its own place on the sensitive emulsion; making that place more...
...setting the panoramic scene, North and South. From every corner they come. In the South, Clay Wingate, gentleman planter, gloated with boyish pride over boots and sabre, crisp new toys of war; but he brooded over their necessity. He knew the cause wasn't slavery, "that stale red-herring of Yankee knavery"; he knew it wasn't even states' rights. Vaguely he sensed it was a conflicting temperament, a difference in culture, North and South: A voice, a fragrance, a taste of wine, A face half-seen with candleshine, A yellow river, a blowing dust...
