exhibiting in Boston and New York, Eliot opened a small gallery in Boston. But he was turning more and more to words as a medium of self-expression. After a stint with the MARCH OF TIME, and wartime duty in the Office of War Information, he joined TIME in 1945 as a contributing editor...
...already conducting the Russian Imperial Symphony, the charmed Rasputin pressed gifts upon him. At 42, as a Hollywood musical director, he persuaded Leopold Stokowski to make his first motion picture (The Big Broadcast of 1937). Even the U.S. Government capitulated to his charm. During Boris' twelve-year stint as an undercover man keeping tabs on Soviet spies, bemused FBI men referred to him as their "special special agent." Last week, with the Soble spy ring (TIME, Aug. 19) cracked as a result of his information, and Boris Morros' counterspy career over at last, the Justice Department allowed...

...Manhattan street, tall, lean, blue-eyed Tanner decked in a midnight-blue Homburg, with umbrella tightly furled, could still pass for a refugee from the British Foreign Office. Though Pat's grey-flecked brown beard predates Commander "Schweppes" Whitehead's ambassadorship (Tanner grew his during a wartime stint as ambulance driver with the American Field Service attached to the French army), he and the commander have done some mutual theorizing in and on their beards: "The beard flourishes whenever there is a Queen on the throne of England. We've decided that when you're bearded...
