...half the case dragged on, and all Israel bled from this opening of old wounds. In June 1955 Judge Benjamin Halevy ruled that Gruenwald was substantially right. Kastner, said the judge, was a Nazi collaborator who "sold his soul to the Devil" when he accepted the Nazi offer to spare 600 Jews. By failing to tell his people what lay ahead for them, he contributed to the murders of Auschwitz (TIME, July...
...agile, accomplished New York City Ballet, which often dances in practice costumes to spare its skintight finances, shot the works last week on a brash, brassy premiere, Stars and Stripes, set to the marches of John Philip Sousa. The works were well shot, thanks largely to George Balanchine, at 54 not only the world's most prolific choreographer (the Sousa ballet was his 93rd), but its finest...
This week, working with no room to spare through their "hole in the ice," the orthopedists operated.

The tractors-ordinary Fergusons hardly modified from the model used on thousands of farms-performed magnificently.

The expedition had a little trouble with crevasses, but the tractors proved to have unexpected crevasse-detecting talents. Most of their weight is carried on the rear wheels, so when the front wheels sank into the snow over a crevasse, the driver had a good chance of backing...
...with Painters Diego Rivera and José Orozco, in 1926 returned to California, began a series of precise, sharply composed nature studies that made him famous, won (in 1937) the first Guggenheim fellowship ever given to a photographer. Weston used little equipment, almost never retouched or cropped his clear, spare negatives, cautiously refused until 1947 to use color film, but when he did (LIFE, Nov. 25, 1957) produced some of the finest pictures of his career...
