The chemistry changed a lot over the years for Kodachrome. I would be hesitant to say that Kodachrome doesn't fade the way Wayne described; some slides can and do seem to fade terribly, though not nearly as bad as Ektachrome of the same period.
FWIW, my Great-Grandmother died back in September, and we found that her Kotavachrome prints from immediately after WWII through 1953 are quite faded. My Grandmother's wedding photos (also on Kotavachrome, this time circa 1957) are fine.
Does anyone know what Kodachrome chemistry was in use circa 1951?, when the Life magazine slides were shot? It's much too early for K-14. Maybe K-12?
