...Your cover story on Ho Chi Minh [July 16] is a shocking distortion of history. Your article says that after two months of haggling, "Ho suddenly agreed to a modus vivendi: the Chinese would leave Viet Nam, but there would be no independence.

His first TIME covers were done in June of 1941, and were soon followed by a memorable series of wartime portraits, including the classic view of Germany's Admiral Karl Doenitz...
