...cover portrait is TIME'S most meaningful so far. Dean Rusk, an otherwise most handsome man, becomes a stricken symbol of the war in Viet Nam. The artist has drawn a picture of my own considered reservations about the U.S. commitment in Southeast Asia...

A pipe-smoking polymath who speaks six languages and writes fluently in three, Eliade, 58, is a prolific novelist as well as chairman of Chicago's history of religion department.

It has escaped Axis capture only because-the bitter story goes-an American insurance company did not want its corporate symbol compromised. The Rock's only happy denizens are the Barbary apes-sexually emancipated pensioners who seem to be contemptuously aware of the superstition that the British will never leave the Rock until the death of the last...
