...Paris Bureau correspondents, is old stuff to J. David Buckner, prime mover of TIME-LIFE International's Personal Shopping Service. During the war our foreign correspondents were pretty much on their own (thanks to outfits like U.S. Army Exchange Service) and needed few supplies from home. The postwar exodus of their wives & children (and of the wives & children of our other overseas personnel as well) to join them abroad changed all that. They needed all sorts of goods & services, most of which were in short supply throughout the world, and TLI had to set up a global shopping service...
Tough All Over. In his careful way, Ben Fine had documented what most educators and many citizens already knew: that U.S. schools are in a bad way. He had piled up some awesome facts & figures on the teacher exodus (350,000 since 1941), the teacher shortage (70,000), the number of substandard teachers (125,000), their generally low quality (one-third didn't go beyond high school), and the low teacher pay (U.S. average: $37 a week).

...cost projects such as his 600-house Channel Heights project in San Pedro, Calif. Says he: "I have . . . always felt that it was the job of ours and the next following generation to make true the promise of the [industrial] revolution . . . the promise of a general exodus from our metropolitan slums, from rural hovels and, in short, from the pre-industrial standards of living and housing. . . . Whatever we design today . . . has its true contemporary significance only if it does not aim at uniqueness but an applicability for [mass] production...
...large, youngish (37) man who looks something like a more alert Primo Carnera, he likes to wrestle playfully with friends and pull out their neckties. He became a rabid planner. Last winter, with the general exodus of planners from the Truman Administration, Nathan also left and organized the Robert R. Nathan Associates...
