...gallery of cover subjects, as varied as life itself, is composed of men and women well remembered and long forgotten.

When a twelve-man foot patrol of Tachito's national guard arrived to examine the plane's remains, the rebels ambushed the soldiers...
...raising so easy that virtually every section of the country now mass-produces eggs. The Southeastern states until five years ago were major egg importers; they are now major exporters, and many Southern eggmen predict that in a few years they will raise enough eggs for all the population east of the Rockies...
