...other exporters TLI has run into trouble with almost predictable regularity in trying to get weekly world-wide distribution of TIME on issue date. Now, after 18 months of trying, TLI has got it, or close to it, in most countries throughout the world. There are exceptions, of course, due to acts of God, man and nature. Subscribers in remote Alaskan villages still have to be served by dog sled, and a subscriber in Andorra, high in the Pyrenees, has told us that during heavy snows his copy arrives by bearer...

To him, rather than any other, is due the present revival of the art of the corrida. He gets as much as 150,000 pesetas ($13,700) for a single performance, and his Mexican partner, Carlos Arruza, gets almost as much. This pair has collared so many important fights and so much of the big Mexican bullfight money that they are engaged in a squabble with the Spanish Bullfighters Syndicate, headed by Juanito Belmonte...
