...both Williams and TIME have grown, and a measure of the growth is shown in the size of fledgling TIME'S first print order: a modest 25,000. This week Williams started a press run of 250,000 copies of TIME to be distributed to New England and eastern New York alone (see map). Williams' contribution, ten times the number of TIME'S first total run, is still only one-tenth of the total 2,500,000 copies of TIME printed every Monday in the five U.S. plants. (Chicago and the three foreign plants print...
Working from the moment he stepped out of a commercial airliner (Eastern Air Lines) from New York to the moment he boarded another (Pan American) five days later, New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller convinced the governors' conference at San Juan, Puerto Rico that he is a deadly serious candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1960.

Said he: "TAC never has had priority, like SAC. TAG had to make do with what it could get, and by God, we have...
...masticating a cud of predigested opera and alfalfa-flavored chamber music. A notable and daring exception has been New York's Empire State Music Festival, which five years ago pledged itself to new or rarely performed works. In a sprawling tent at Ellenville, N.Y., the festival presented the Eastern premiere of Stravinsky's Canticum Sacrum, the premiere of a ballet by Villa-Lottos, Sibelius' music for The Tempest and Strauss's Elektra, Carl Orff's score for Midsummer Night's Dream. But the festival was dogged by bad luck and bad weather, last summer...
