...sunless castle by a timeless sea, the story went, lived a young prince named Pelléas. He was as innocent and guileless as Mélisande, the bride of his half brother. In a helpless, fateful series of encounters, their destinies became tangled until, on a moonlit night, he became literally entangled in her long hair as she combed it down from her tower window. And just when they fully realized their love, her husband came upon them and ran his sword through Pell...
...18th century," Screen Star "Zizi" Jeanmaire (Hans Christian Andersen) turned up in a few strategically placed sequins, riding what might or might not have been an 18th century camel. Another girl came as a white rabbit, with neither explanation nor apology. Host Cuevas himself received his guests as a timeless "God of Nature" in cloth of gold, a scarlet cape and a headdress of gilded grapes and ostrich plumes in the full beam of a glaring spotlight. "I can't see you; oh, this light is terrible," he cried to one couple as his own limelight blinded...
...Tampering with the cover is not the only thing Muggeridge has done. Under his regime, writing and drawing are firmly tied to the news ("If a joke has no relevance, or its connections are obsolete, it's out").

But last week, in Graflex's annual $10,000 contest, Charles Dawson's portrait of Elizabeth, for United Press, came in third ($200). Top honors went to a picture of a more universal and more timeless theme-a soldier coming home from the wars (see cut). James N. Keen of the Louisville Courier-Journal won the $500 first prize for his shot of Captain Darrell J. Putnam, after 18 months in Korea, greeting his wife and the daughter he had never seen. In second place...
...from the Bank of Posterity stamped "Insufficient Funds." He made the international bestseller lists in the early '30s with Little Man, What Now?, a famously sentimental tale of a harassed bookkeeper whose whimpers found echoes all over a Depression-hounded world. But his talent was timely rather than timeless; moreover, in his native Germany, Fallada and his symbolic "Little Man" pinned their hopes on Hitler, and it turned out to be a luckless choice for both. Fallada's books were pronounced "undesirable" by the Nazis, and in 1944 he ran afoul of the law and was jailed. Though...
