FROL KOZLOV, 53, beamed a few years ago when Khrushchev told visiting Averell Harriman in Kozlov's presence that the handsome, iron-grey-haired Communist Party Secretary was his choice to follow him. Kozlov, trained as a metallurgical engineer, is an efficient, tough administrator who delivered the key speech on new party regulations at last October's Moscow party congress. He has apparently recovered from a heart attack he suffered last year. Kozlov occupies a strategic position in the party secretariat from which Stalin and Khrushchev made their power plays, and, like them, he has placed his supporters...
Appropriately attired in grey, Dave Beck, 68, looked downcast as he surrendered to U.S. marshals in Seattle for the start of two concurrent five-year federal prison terms for tax fraud. But there was still a touch of the old bravado in the onetime boss of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. As he boarded an 84-ft. launch near Tacoma that took him four miles across Puget Sound to McNeil Island Penitentiary, he called: "Remember MacArthur, boys! I'll be back." When the turnipy teamster does return, he will face 15 more years for embezzlement of his union...
...shambled across the 18th green like a young grizzly bear, his pudgy face ruddy from the sun, his white cotton shirt soggy with sweat, his cream-colored cap perched precariously on the back of his close-cropped blond head. Tournament officials clustered anxiously on the apron while grey-uniformed state troopers strained to hold back the surging gallery; on all sides, TV cameras zeroed in to carry the scene to 9,000,000 home viewers across the nation. But Jack Nicklaus might have been alone on a practice green for all the emotion he displayed. Intently, impassively, he hunched over...
...Venice Biennale when a scruffy little man with a ragged little beard rushed up to him and dramatically emptied the contents of a briefcase at his feet. The President's guard, ever on the alert, quickly drew his sword, but all that he saw was a half-dozen grey mice scampering for safety. It turned out that the intruder was a Venezuelan artist who has a passion for mice, paints pictures of them again and again, and thinks that the Biennale neglects them shamefully. The Biennale-the world's biggest and flashiest art show-managed to open just...
...Avenue, sign after sign in Hebrew announces the purity of the kosher meats or the freedom from animal fats of baked goods. On the sidewalks, young boys with shaven heads and long, curling sideburns are watched by women in high-necked, long-sleeved dresses and old men in untrimmed grey beards, broad-brimmed felt hats and ankle-length black coats. Now this colorful way of life is coming to an end, partly because of a disconcerting complication. New 22-story apartment buildings are replacing many of the tenements of Williamsburg, but the Hasidim cannot live in them: they are forbidden...
