...John Shaw, a key man among the 31 correspondents who contributed to the story, served two years (1949-51) as a draftee in the British army, and much more recently spent two years covering the war for us in Viet Nam. Writer William Johnson, for whom this is the 16th cover story, served two years in the Navy, was mustered out as a lieutenant j.g. in 1956, and has written many of our major Viet Nam stories. For Peter Kurd, who was a combat artist for LIFE in World War II, the frames of reference were many. He discovered that...
Catholic missionaries made a fruitless attempt to acquire converts in Burma during the 16th century, but Christianity did not really gain a foothold until 1722, when two Barnabite priests from Italy started preaching in Ava and Pegu.

Matter of Age. The chances were that neither Keane nor Houk could revive these Yankees. Old age had destroyed their skills. Slugger Mickey Mantle, at 34 and in his 16th season, was playing with his shaky legs encased in tape; his right shoulder was still sore after an operation for a bone chip, and he had yet to hit his first home run. Roger Maris, 31, the second half of the M. & M. twins who tore the league apart a few years ago, sat out 116 games last year because of injuries. He seems healthy enough now, but his batting...
