...more than a month, the world's most powerful nation huffed & puffed, but it could not budge a minor Soviet slave state. Four U.S. flyers, lost over Hungary on a routine C-47 cargo flight from Germany to Yugoslavia, had been forced down by Red fighter planes (TIME, Dec. 17).

As an aging slave of the Romans, Barabbas meets a Christian whose piety nearly converts him-but when threatened with death by the Romans he backs out. No, he says, he has no god.
