...rough spots and all, Politicks is a worthy conception well carried out. Its tabloid form is very attractive--you almost want to buy it just for the pictures and for the cartoons by Ed Sorel, the Voice cartoonist who is a true inheritor of Thomas Nast's tradition of political caricature in this country, among others. The real factor of course, will be money. This week's 28-page issue contains about four pages of ads, and the general rule of thumb says that to break even about half the issue has to be advertisements. Look for a 24-page...

They are his godfather Cuno Amiet (1868-1961), his cousin Augusto Giacometti...
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Shahs, inheritor of Persia 's ancient throne, recently was interviewed by Time Inc.'s Editor in Chief Medley Donovan and Chief of Correspondents Murray Gart. Their meeting took place over tea in his enormous second-floor office, a cruciform chamber in green and silver, in the Niavaran Palace, the royal residence in Teheran. The highly active 54-year-old monarch sighed frequently as he talked, his voice sometimes dropping to a whisper, as though betraying the burden he feels as the absolute ruler of Iran's 34 million people.
