TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: HUBERT HUMPHREY: THE HAPPY WARRIOR: After a long, courageous fight, Hubert H. Humphrey died of cancer last week at 66. He was mourned with a display and depth of feeling that few politicians--particularly one who had never been President--have ever aroused. His remarkable career took Humphrey from city hall in Minneapolis to the Senate to the Vice Presidency of the United States, and he left behind a legacy of landmark legislation including medicare, the Peace Corps and civil rights. Three times Humphrey tried to achieve the White House and failed, but he never lost his sense of optimism, his personal warmth or his joy in public life. Tom Mathews and John J. Lindsay assess the Happy Warrior's career, and Washington bureau chief Mel Elfin and columnist George F. Will offer personal appreciations. (Cover photo by Bill Ray.).
LORD OF THE PIANO: He calls himself the last of the nineteenth-century romantics. VLADIMIR HOROWITZ at 73 is still the most commanding pianist in the world. Eccentric and supremely self-confident, he dismisses mere technical perfection in favor of self-expression. Music critic Hubert Saal describes Horowitz's extraordinary life and art, and Senior Editor Charles Michener examines a new golden age of younger virtuosos. [NICE, IN-DEPTH article, with many photos, over FIVE FULL pages. ALSO: Profiles of many up-and coming pianists -- you have heard of them!]
HEATING UP? Another hard winter may tempt Americans to think the weather is getting colder. Actually, scientists believe the planet may be heating up because of rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. The result may be a shift of weather patterns over the next century, including a drier U.S. Photo caption: Saal with Horowitz: Master in a golden age.
TINY PALACE: A fairy tale came true for Guendolen Wilkinson in 1907 when her father began constructing a home for the fairy royal family. Exquisitely furnished, even to an artistes worktable, the dollhouse sold in London last week for $256,500.
Refugees from CAMBODIA say their country's new Communist rulers have created a "land of walking dead," one of the most savage nations of modern times. As many as 2 million Cambodians reportedly have died from disease, forced labor, malnutrition -- or execution. And the horror seems to be unending.
