...wrote Author Paul Gallico (Mrs. Arris Goes to Paris) from Monaco recently. Gallico was one of many readers who have been moved to correspond with TIME, for we make it a practice to answer every letter-whether it is written to praise or criticize, to point out an error or to offer information. The great volume of letters to the editor-55,000 last year-is handled by a staff of eight letter correspondents headed by Maria Luisa Cisneros...
...State almost three years ago. Flyers imprisoned in Viet Nam have signed many confessions-a situation that Harriman's aide, Frank Sieverts, finds predictable enough. "The code says a prisoner can't sign anything, but those who have given it any thought know the only practical answer is 'yes, he can sign,' " says Sieverts. Neither the U.S. military nor the public seems as angered by the confessions as they were in the Korean War -although leniency still does not extend to P.O.W.s who have harmed fellow prisoners by cooperating with the enemy.

...teak-paneled office in Austin is the same one he used as President, with phones wherever convenient and a button marked "Galley" to summon a Fresca or a milk shake.

Man, he said, should look upon himself as part of a great community and develop a hierarchy of loyalties extending from his family, to his own community, to the great community of all mankind. Cynics might look upon this...
Just what kind of country Americans want is, of course, the big question-and the answer remains curiously elusive. Americans have traditionally stressed optimism, a faith in the future, what John Kirk calls "progress, pragmatism, respect for achievement, a belief that rising wealth and expanding technology would ultimately dissipate most individual and social problems." Yet Americans have seldom examined those values long enough to see the possible inner contradictions. In part, they were too busy carving for themselves a share of the country's peerless abundance. Men with fabulous opportunities for self-advancement had no time for self-inspection...
