The Imprisoned Peace Prize Winner

During Nobel Peace Prize announcement season, it is worth remembering the tragic story of Carl von Ossietzky, the man awarded the prize in 1935. He was a journalist held in a Nazi concentration camp, who—though eventually released from prison—was never able to travel to Norway to accept his prize before his death. "If ever a man worked, fought & suffered for Peace, it is the sickly little German, Carl von Ossietzky," TIME reported after the news broke. "For nearly a year the Nobel Peace Prize Committee has been swamped with petitions from all shades of Socialists, Liberals and literary folk generally, nominating Carl von Ossietzky for the 1935 Peace Prize. Their slogan: 'Send the Peace Prize into the Concentration Camp.'"

Remembering Steve Jobs

It was five years ago—on Oct. 5, 2011—that Apple's Steve Jobs died. Though his life was celebrated with a special remembrance issue, his first appearance in the pages of TIME was as a mere aside. In that 1983 story, he was hailed as "the most famous maestro of the micro" at a time when many others—the real subjects of the story—were hoping "to turn the personal computer into the engine that is powering a new communications revolution."

The Real Deepwater Horizon Spill

The story of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill hits movie theaters as a movie also called Deepwater Horizon. "Terrible as the loss of life and property were, they were just the beginning," TIME reported when it happened. "An accident this severe could easily cause a rupture in the pipes that carry oil to the surface, but there were fail-safe devices in place to seal the well before that could happen. Those devices, however, did fail, and officials soon realized that thousands of barrels of petroleum—and perhaps far more—were spilling into the Gulf."
