Admirable indeed was the restraint of Nikita Khrushchev. From the mean, narrow lane of Chinese Communism, Mao Tse-tung has not been content to preach heresy. In the past six months he has aimed a rising torrent of abuse at the anointed heir of Marx and Lenin in Moscow. Invoking every filthy word in the canons of Communism, the Red Confucius labeled Khrushchev a revisionist splitter and quitter who has betrayed the faith by eschewing hard, revolutionary action in Africa, Asia and Latin America, espousing peaceful coexistence, and signing the nuclear test-ban treaty...
Spaghetti & Prunes. Winnie Bird came a long way from Missouri, where she was born in 1897. Daughter of a poor railroad employee, the tall, blonde young beauty came East, married Wallis C. Bird, a Standard Oil heir. In 1941 Bird was killed in a plane crash, leaving Winnie with an income of $300,000 a year and a desire to crash European society. But World War II intervened, and it was not until 1948 that Winnie left the U.S. to live in Europe, where she divided her time between a five-room suite at the Crillon in Paris and smaller...
Getting born is obviously easy enough. Staying alive is not. There is no better example of the hazards and agonies of infancy than Show, a monthly magazine for patrons of the performing arts that was launched in 1961 on A. & P. Heir Huntington Hartford's self-replenishing millions. In quick succession, Show cannibalized two other moribund magazine babies: Show Business Illustrated, a misguided effort of Playboy's Hugh He fner and USA* 1, a monthly news-and-history magazine that lasted just five issues. Last week, after losing $2,000,000 in the last year, Show itself...
...Angeles Herald only to be squeezed out a few months later by the panic of 1873, wrote signed editorial columns for the Santa Barbara paper until his death in 1936. Storke's son Charles, now 52, joined the News-Press in 1932, and he was clearly heir apparent. (Another son has been a lifelong invalid.) But Charles got impatient; the old man simply refused to retire. Besides, Charles's wife was bitterly opposed to all suggestions that their own son work on the paper. In 1959, Charles quit the News-Press for good and moved his family...
With this epigram from the unfashionable poet Rudyard Kipling carved in its marble-slathered lobby, the U.S.'s newest museum throws down an elegant gauntlet at the feet of all that has been fashionable in recent art. The challenger is A. & P. Heir Huntington Hartford, 52, who considers abstract art to be a social menace; the challenge is his new Gallery of Modern Art, which assumes "modern," in the art sense, to mean from 1800 until not too lately. After a series of quite fashionable previews-for the press, social, professional and charity cliques-the long-abuilding museum last...
