...this show of crashing unanimity, one M.P. was conspicuously absent: Milovan Djilas, the purged and disgraced Vice President who had gabbled too much about the rigid Marxism and flexible love lives of his fellow top Communists (TIME, Jan. 18 et seq.). "Political pornography," one of his critics called it. Djilas sent word that he had resigned his seat. To succeed him as Assembly President, the members last week unanimously elected Mosa Pijade, 64, a gnomelike little man whose friendly, avuncular air (covering the steely core of a seasoned revolutionist) has earned him the nickname Cica (uncle). He joined the Communist...
RUSSIA, which recently puzzled financial experts by selling gold (TIME, Nov. 15 et seq.), has now added a mystery for commodity men. Though short of sterling, the Reds have just made a deal with a British firm to buy 50,000 tons of refined sugar, the biggest such sale in more than 20 years, at a time when Russia's satellites are exporting sugar...
...Sizzling & Sensational." One of the Mirror's fiercest battles was against its two afternoon competitors, Hearst's Herald & Express and the ailing Daily News. In editorials and news stories, all three papers constantly fire away (TIME, Nov. 24, 1952 et seq.) at one another. For example, in the middle of the Mirror's liquor-license series, Newsmen discovered that Mirror Movie Columnist Florabel Muir had herself sold a license in just the way Mirror had said was "sizzling and sensational." Columnist Muir promptly resigned (TIME...

They were hurt, then angry, as the Communists snarled at them in defeat, and accused the Indian command of double-dealing: they were grim when the Communists put the P.W.s through hour-long inquisitions, and were ready to screen the P.W.s...
...Magsaysay victory was a U.S. victory. In 1950 when the menace of the Communist-led Huks threatened Manila itself, U.S. diplomats persuaded President Quirino to hand the Huk-fighting job to Ramon Magsaysay (pronounced mog-sigh-sigh), then the Liberal Party Representative from Zambales (TIME, Nov. 26, 1951 et seq.). A carpenter's son who got his engineering degree at the University of the Philippines, for a time worked in a U.S. Army motor pool, and then led a jungle army of 10,000 guerrillas against the Japanese, Magsaysay soon had the Huks...
