From the correspondent's suggestion to the printed pages, the project came under the major care of two senior editors (Henry Grunwald and Cranston Jones), two associate editors (Peter Bird Martin and Charles P. Jackson), two contributing editors (Robert Jones and Arnold Drapkin), two editorial researchers (Deborah Hall and Rosemary Frank), one map maker (Robert Chapin) and one photographer-Laurence Lowry.

One is State Controller Alan Cranston, 49, a tense, balding liberal who spews out words so swiftly that his aides write marginal notes in his speeches advising him, "Take it easy. Slow it down."

Maybe they can use a good one." If nothing else, Murphy is getting plenty of exposure: right now some 20 old Murphy movies are making the rounds on television's late-show circuit...
...idea for this color story actually has been germinating for several years, during which the curiosity of TIME staffers has been piqued by the closed, locked, guarded doors at Detroit's automobile design centers. Last fall Senior Editor Cranston Jones, who recalls that those closed doors have been bothering him off and on ever since he saw them at the General Motors Technical Center in 1956, proposed a color story that would get behind them. Detroit Bureau Chief Leon Jaroff tried the idea on the automakers and got one after another of them to agree. Next step...
