...words, the new code sums up dos and don'ts in a mere 500. Dropped completely are former sections advising doctors on information for the public, patents and copyrights-and punctuality. Main emphasis, unchanged, is on service and integrity: "The principal objective of the medical profession is to render service to humanity with full respect for the dignity of man . . . The medical profession should safeguard the "public and itself against physicians deficient in moral character or professional competence...
...confession of guilt out of Foreign Minister Rajk, the Stalinists sent mild-mannered Janos Kadar, his best friend and wartime comrade, to talk with Rajk in his cell. "Of course, we all know that you are innocent," said Kadar, but "by doing this you will render a historic service to the Communist movement." Rajk confessed in court-and was hanged. A little later Kadar himself was arrested. "After his release," wrote Hungarian Journalist George Paloczi-Horvath, "he told the Central Committee how he was tortured. A lieutenant colonel of the security police had beaten him until he fainted. When...
...nearly a third of the U.S. cigarette output. Are the filters really any good? Scientists insist that, while they may have incidental benefits, present filters are relatively futile against dangerous tobacco tars.

One hydrogen bomb, they warned, could render the whole Ruhr Valley "uninhabitable." Worse yet, "the entire West German Republic could be rubbed out" by spreading radioactivity. The hooker: all 18 pledged themselves not to help the West German government in any way in "the production, testing or even use" of atomic weapons...
Calling himself a "cubist impressionist," Villon progressed from his 1913 attempt to render cubist rhythms in Soldiers on the March to his lime-cool portrait of his notary father (opposite), who supported Villon's painting efforts off and on for 30 years. Villon, having refined his palette to the utmost, "touched the earth once again" by returning in 1940 to the vibrant countryside of southwest France. Part of his latest harvest: his superb pastoral illustrations for Virgil's Eclogues (TIME COLOR PAGES, June 6, 1955). Today, at 81, the holder of nearly every award the art world...
