...peppier package. Officially measuring two inches shorter than Miss U.S.A. and looking even less than that, she made no attempt to disguise the fact that she measured 35½-23½-35½ and was proud of it. She was poised, but it was poise with a background warmth. "She has nothing but love in her heart for the man she will some day marry," said her mother, and the inner fires certainly impressed the judges...
With that background. Mecklin was well prepared to serve as the pivot man of the TIME task force that provided this week's coverage in depth of the crisis in the Middle East...
...chief correspondent in the area, John Mecklin, an old hand at censorship and canceled flights that leave correspondents stranded during crises, stuck close to his Beirut headquarters and the cable office. He was on hand to meet the U.S. Marines when they landed in Lebanon. Out of hjs background of 80,000 miles of travel over the past 2½ years, he was also able to contribute comprehensive and incisive commentary on all the week's events. Mecklin's current passport, two years old, already has 36 extra pages of visas...
THIS week TIME presents the first ' cover in its history in which the logotype-the word TIME-has been printed in more than one color.

The grey balls represent carbon atoms; blue is phosphorous; yellow is nitrogen; red is oxygen; white is hydrogen. Molecules do not look like this, of course. The atoms in them are much too small to be seen, even with an electron microscope. The pattern shown is a small part, somewhat simplified, of the DNA molecule, which geneticists now believe is the carrier of heredity and the chemical master...
