Even in the Democratic South, some relatively young Republicans are giving Democratic incumbents a rough go. In Georgia's Fifth District, Atlanta Lawyer Randolph William Thrower, 43, former filling-station attendant, FBI agent and Marine captain, is close on the heels of arch-segregationist Representative James C. Davis, 61, who was Georgia's presidential nominee at the Democratic National Convention, and has since held carefully stacked House subcommittee hearings on integration in the District of Columbia's schools (TIME, Oct.1). In Kentucky's Sixth District, Fayette County's Republican Sheriff Wallace ("Wah Wah") Jones...
Insisting to the last that the whole ugly business was a frame-up engineered by disgruntled Czarist émigrés, officials at the Soviet embassy in London came reluctantly to the conclusion that British justice could not be sidetracked. As Olympic Discus Thrower Nina Ponomareva doggedly practiced pushups for six weeks in an embassy bedroom, they maintained with stolid poker faces that in Russia no one is dragged to court until he is proved guilty. In Britain, the Foreign Office explained patiently, things are different: there it is considered the court's function to determine innocence or guilt...
...make its first full-scale appearance outside the Soviet Union-had kept London's ballet fans on tenterhooks. Eighty tons of scenery already rested on a London dock when balletomanes heard that the company would not come unless British authorities dropped charges against Nina Ponomaryeva, the husky discus thrower who is charged with shoplifting (TIME, Sept. 10); the authorities stood pat. When the Russians decided to come anyway, the three jet airliners carrying the troupe found the London airport weathered in, had to land miles away at a U.S. fighter base in Mansion, Kent. But last week in London...
Shopping meant bargain hunting, for the visitors had only ?5 (about $14) pocket money apiece. Discus Thrower Nina Ponomaryeva, 27, a Russian gold-medal winner at the 1952 Olympics, cased the shop windows along Oxford Street with an eager eye, for Nina always tried to make the most of her bulky (185 Ibs.) charms. Like her movie namesake, Ninotchka, she was fascinated by bourgeois hats. The cut-rate merchandise at C. & A. Modes, Ltd. seemed just what she wanted: among the 305. felt flowerpots, the cheap berets, the fluffy wool stocking caps there must be a creation that would...
After four months of tireless investigation, the law last week finally pointed its finger at the acid thrower who blinded Labor Columnist Victor Riesel (TIME. April 16). The assailant, a 22-year-old hoodlum named Abraham Telvi, who got $1,000 for the brutal job, had already come to crude, ironic justice: he was the victim of a gangland murder triggered by his own hand. But the FBI seized two accomplices linked to labor rackets in New York's garment industry and put together this outline of the crime...
