...political climate in Utah (pop. 860,000) rarely erupts in thunderstorms visible beyond the border. But for three years, chain lightning has crackled between snow-capped Senior Senator Arthur V. Watkins and volcanic ex-Governor J. (for Joseph) Bracken Lee. Watkins cannot forgive Lee a long record of sheer perversity-outspoken criticism of President Eisenhower, opposition to federal income tax, foreign aid, federal aid to education and Arthur V.

Of the nine original moujahids (freedom fighters), three are now dead and five are in French prisons. The only one still at large is Belkacem Krim, 35, now the senior military man in Algeria's Front de Libération Nationale. Like most Algerian rebel leaders, moody Belkacem Krim, who has five death sentences hanging over his balding head, rarely discusses his personal activities. But from Paris last week TIME Correspondent Stanley Karnow reported...
...heiress worth nearly $100 million, who in 1937 went to Moscow as the wife of the late (TIME, May 19) Joseph E. Davies, then U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union, where she lavishly displayed the graces of capitalism to admiring comrades; and suave, silver-haired Herbert A. May, 66, senior vice president of Pittsburgh's Westinghouse Air Brake Co., a lustrous host and lover of good clubs, who, according to friends, "spends money beautifully" and carries himself "as if he were posing for his own statue"; she for the fourth time, he for the second; in Woodbine...
