...leaned over rebels' shoulders to sight his camera along their rifle barrels. Among the casualties in the same action (TIME, Nov. 12): Paris-Match Photographer Jean-Pierre Pedrazzini, whose wounds resulted in his death last week. Yet Sadovy's 18 rolls of 35-mm. film showed no tremor. His most memorable sequence: rebels cutting down security police as they poured out of a Communist headquarters. With his pictures. LIFE ran his own terse, vivid account: "I could see the impact of bullets on a man's clothes...
Gone are the tremulous uncertainties of 1949, when small nations who had seen Czechoslovakia go under were wondering "who's next?"-those days, as one NATO official recalled last week, "when you could feel a tremor go around the council table every time one of the smaller nations received a Soviet note, and NATO, since we had no effective military organization, seemed more like a source of trouble than of strength...
...Dombey and Son the Hon. Mrs. Skewton, mother of the second Mrs. Dombey, suffers from what is now known to be cerebral arteriosclerosis.

Chemopallidectomy. An operation devised by Manhattan's Dr. Irving S. Cooper to relieve the uncontrollable tremor of Parkinson's disease. His earlier method (TIME, June 29, 1953), still risky and controversial, was to shut off one of the brain arteries. But many patients over 55 cannot tolerate this drastic technique, and it is among them that Parkinsonism is commonest. Now, Dr. Cooper works a plastic tube into the grey brain ball, injects procaine (which checks the tremor temporarily) to be sure he has reached the right spot, then injects absolute alcohol to do the job permanently...
