Publisher Martin contemplates fusing his old magazine with his new, placing the amalgam under the direction of World Traveler's Editor Charles P. Norcross, now junketing in the Orient. Because World Traveler has about one-fourth of its stablemate's distribution, and because when two magazines combine one inevitably swallows the other, publishers guessed that the ever-mutating Mentor would be the one to endure...
