...your Nov. 2 issue, you printed an interesting article on color in newspapers. Unfortunately for us, you quoted the Chicago Tribune's rate as $6,324.72 for a full-page color advertisement. Our rate for such is $5,349-72-only $975.00 over the price of a black-and-white page...
...photographers-and Ike, for that matter-had not seen anything yet. In a day and a half of Pakistani hospitality, he attended a society matron's dream of a dinner party (held under two huge, orange-and-black-striped tents that were floored with rich Oriental rugs), heard the eerie caterwauling of pipes played by a countermarching military regiment, watched Pathan tribesmen from the northwest frontier as they danced in wild, hair-tossing abandon, observed part of an Australian-Pakistani cricket match, marveled at an exhibition of tent-pegging (in which shrieking horsemen galloped full speed at tent pegs...

...child in the centrifuge stands for modern man in the society he has made. This is the metaphor at the core of this cruel, powerful picture from France, in which the New Wave of cinematic creation matches the high-water mark established by Black Orpheus (TIME, Nov. 16). Like that film, The 400 Blows (Les Quatre Cents Coups) is the work of an unknown: a 27-year-old cinema critic named Francois Truffaut, who made the film for only $110,000. Last May the picture won him the Cannes Film Festival's award for the year's best...
