In another pertinent step, the Supreme Soviet last week ratified the appointment of Central Committee Personnel Chief Aleksander Nikolaevich Shelepin, 40, as the Soviet Union's top cop, succeeding the bloodstained General Ivan Serov (TIME, Dec. 22).

Waiting at the embassy gate was a truckload of mobsters chanting, "Go home, Rountree ... Go home, Rountree...

Among his earliest memories was that of seeing stripe-suited prisoners marching in lock step on Blackwells (now Welfare Island. "This made a wretched impression on me." he recalled. "I took to drawing ghosts for a while, and this may have laid the foundation for my fantastic figures and caricatures." When he was 16, Feininger went to Europe to study music. Soon he switched...
