...December. With the usual cheerful self-confidence of the Kennedy White House circle, almost the first response heard was: "Has anyone ever made it eight years in a row?" (The answer, of course, is no. Franklin D. Roosevelt made it three times; Churchill, Truman, Eisenhower, George C. Marshall and Stalin twice.) TIME'S criterion for its choice is the man who "dominated the news of that year and left an indelible mark-for good or ill-on history." As usual, our readers were invited to make their own nominations. Everybody from Dr. Dooley to Chubby Checker was nominated...
...82nd anniversary of Stalin's birth cut no ice in Moscow, where Pravda-which in the late dictator's prime regularly praised his name as many as 300 times per issue-wrote him off with a single mention: a reference to "the serious obstacles that the Stalin cult of personality placed in the path of the development of Marxist-Leninist theory...

In the capital city of Tirana, wide Skanderbeg Square boasts three white-uniformed traffic cops on duty-but no traffic for them to direct. Heavily-armed police and soldiers stand guard before ministries and embassies, on street corners, in parks, in front of and behind hotels. Other guards, toting machine guns, pace before the residences of top Red officials...
