...works of Diego Rivera that are reproduced in this issue, it took Mexico City Photographer Juan Guzman about a month to photograph them in color. His principal headache was the controversial mural in the Hotel Del Prado. Although it is his latest and, Rivera maintains, his best, it still reposes behind red, hinged shutters in the main dining room. Getting the shutters open was not difficult, but nothing could be done with the dining room posts that stood in Guzman's way. Eventually, he shot around them and, the mural being an extensive one, he sent...

Last week Moscow's Literary Gazette scrutinized Pocket Books, Inc.'s 25? U.S. edition of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, declared it "a monstrous crime against world culture."

With all his business responsibilities, harddriving, hard-drinking egoist Glenn McCarthy (he keeps a full-length color photograph of himself in his office) is still as truculent as he was in his days as an oilfield roughneck. The tales of his business deals are almost matched by the stories of his rough & tumble brawling which has caused him to be barred from more than one Houston club. He likes expensive hobbies. Last year his planes came in one, two and four in the Bendix air race. He is rumored to be spending $100,000 to enter a car in this...
