...demands on Rhee, including the immediate release of all arrested students and nullification of the March 15 elections. When Defense Minister Kim Chung Yul, speaking in the National Assembly, tried to justify the Seoul shootings by accusing the students of ''indescribable violence,'' he was torn bodily away from the microphone by raging members of Chang's Democratic Party...
...funnyman who, as one of his fans puts it, "looks like anonymity with 'air on." In recent years he has established himself as one of BBC's top radio and television comics. Last year U.S. moviegoers became vaguely aware of him as a hilarious assistant heavy in torn thumb (TIME, Jan. 5, 1959) and as three other people in a farce called The Mouse That Roared (TIME, Nov. 9).

Across the U.S., the scattered but sizable and zealous band of supporters who had given up Stevenson for lost suddenly...
...time, all Europe seemed to have accepted D'Annunzio's cruel philosophy, but he was at least willing to pay a Cinna's price and be torn for his bad verses. He survived 50 actions and almost as many uniforms-for the poet used his prestige to transform himself at will into a cavalry lieutenant, an infantry officer, a combat airman, and he conferred on himself the navy title of comandante. He lost the sight of one eye landing his aircraft and sank a merchantman from a torpedo boat. To the end he remained the most bellicose...
