...Star and the Times have other problems. In recent years, as mounting costs forced the subscription rate up, both papers suffered the circulation loss inevitable in a rural area where thrift-conscious farmers are inclined to drop the big-city paper rather than pay more. Together, the Star and the Times have 671,188 subscribers today, down some 40,000 since 1949. Staffers wonder, too, who will take over when Roy Roberts decides to retire. His key editors have worked long years in his shadow; behind him stands no one groomed to take his place...

On Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's visit to the U.S. last September, some 300 correspondents and cameramen, eagerly vying for the same story, several times turned the tour into a journalistic wreck (TIME, Oct. 5). Jim Hagerty was determined that there would be no such sideshow...
...state occasions en route). Hagerty, who took a dry-run tour of the route in November, even thoughtfully published information on the availability of American cigarettes along the way ($5 a carton in Karachi, none to be had in New Delhi) and-a matter of vital importance to deadline-conscious newsmen-the time differential between New York and each stop...
