...spectacular arrival in England last week of General Ivan Serov, boss of Russia's dread secret police (see FOREIGN NEWS), was in sharp contrast to his discreet entry into India and Burma last December-when TIME first turned a journalistic spotlight on him. During the early part of that tour with Khrushchev and Bulganin, Serov managed to remain always close at hand but as unobtrusive as a plainclothesman. At state functions and banquets he was billed on programs and place cards simply as I. Serov. This meaningful name on the list of the Khrushchev-Bulganin entourage sent TIME...

Her spectacular mazurka, witches' jump followed by a drag, and an Axel Paulsen jump, were woven into a pattern of almost unbelievable perfection. The final score was decimal close, but the judges proclaimed Tenley Emma Albright winner and U.S. champion for the fifth straight year. It was the eighth time...
...women meet, the Radcliffe report says not. Of 318 Radcliffe Ph.D.s, only 13% have published extensively (i.e., two or more books or 20 or more articles). Half have either published nothing or less than four articles. Concludes Radcliffe of the academics in particular: "As scholars . . . their record is not spectacular . . . and few have achieved a position of commanding distinction and leadership . . .
