...story, Correspondent George Bookman went on a five-week trip to seven European countries in the course of which he interviewed 96 top government officials, economists and businessmen. His report, bolstered by additional material from TIME'S European and U.S. bureaus, brought into focus a new American-type capitalism that around the world is replacing the old system of cartels and feudal wealth. The Tokyo bureau added the story of Japan's striking progress, while the Hong Kong bureau analyzed the trials, tribulations and triumphs of Southeast Asia. As other reports poured in from Latin America, Africa...
...world's best-known, most respected statesman, lifted personal prestige and national influence to new highs from Rome to New Delhi to Paris. But equally as important as the President himself was the backdrop of popular reaction to his visits. His trip was a success because the American idea is a success; he had once and for all destroyed the myth that anti-Americanism prowls the world. The roaring welcomes defined no new world view of the U.S.; what they did was to dramatize the fact that the world likes an Americanism which day by day works...
After his triumph of India, Ike moved on to Teheran, where for six chilly hours (28°) the Shah of Iran was his host.

The two Presidents then drove to the nearby American cemetery, past crowds of women who hailed Ike with a birdlike warbling that sounded like you-you-you. Ike laid a red, white and blue wreath, stood bareheaded for a long two minutes in tribute to the dead of his former North Africa command. Then he drove on past...
...Benson, who has had many bad days in the past seven years (and will doubtless have plenty of them in the year ahead). Home from the hospital, he pored happily over the news from Iowa. Out in Chicago at its yearly convention, the staunchly Republican, 1,400,000-member American Farm Bureau Federation unanimously adopted a pro-Benson wheat plan that calls for lowering the support price from the present $1.77 a bushel under acreage controls to about $1.30 with no controls-a "lowering" that could well bring on the greatest wheat glut of all. In Washington, Chairman Morton, though...
