While working on this week's cover story about Soul Singer Aretha Franklin, the members of TIME'S music staff were impressed by the fact that "soul" can be found-or its absence noted-in individuals far removed from the world of music. Cover Writer Chris Porterfield, Senior Editor Jesse Birnbaum, Reporter Virginia Page and Researchers Molly Bowditch and Rosemarie Tauris Zadikov concocted their own soulful list along with a matching roster from Straight City. Their "Arbitrary Guide to Soul" runs along with the cover, and readers who detect notable omissions are invited to send in their...
...Moon in June. Soul music is sincerity, a homely distillation of everybody's daily portion of pain and joy. "It pulls the cover off," explains Jim Stewart, a former banker and country fiddler who heads Memphis' soul-oriented Stax Records. "It's not the moon in June. It's life.

...book is seductively titled Who's Who in the CIA, but, alas, that turns out to be largely a cover-and little else. The work of East Germany's Dr. Julius Mader, 40, the author of several other, widely unnoticed exposes of Western intelligence operations, Who's Who is a pocket-size, 600-page directory that lists more than 3,000 Americans who supposedly work for the CIA.

To cope with the problem, some suits, called "stripper-dippers," come in three pieces-bra, pants and a removable midsection. Other cover-ups range from elongated sweaters that reach mid-calf (elsewhere called dresses) to Donald Brooks's coolie shirts, which just cover the suit at the hip line. Some of the most elegant are the ankle...
...world, with 1967 sales of $20 billion and net earnings of $1.6 billion. But Ford Motor Co., which had been No. 2 in national standings, fell to No. 3. Moving into second place behind G.M. was Standard Oil (New Jersey). Sales under Chairman Michael Haider (TIME cover, Dec. 29, 1967) were $13.3 billion last year, or nearly $2.8 billion higher than Ford's. Two other corporations among the top ten also moved up. IBM, with sales of $5.3 billion and a lock on the biggest part of the world's computer sales, climbed from ninth place to seventh...
