...wide-angle look at the new Spain. For two weeks they were joined by Writer John Blashill, who was TIME'S correspondent in Madrid for four years (1956-60). To catch the visual aspects, Senior Editor Peter Bird Martin, who handles color projects, flew to Madrid and clocked 1,250 miles in a rented car, ranging from Malaga and Cadiz in the south to Bilbao and Barcelona in the north...
Into Guatemala City's Aurora Airport last week flew Mexico's President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz. To the shattering accompaniment of a low-flying formation of Sabre jets, he proclaimed that Guatemala and Mexico, both home to the Maya Indians who pounded corn meal into tortillas, were "brothers in ancient culture, in blood, in language and in our way of life, even to the corn which is the sustenance of our people...
...Ambassador Arthur Goldberg was summoned from a Bahama vacation and sent off to Rome. From there he flew to Paris to confer with De Gaulle, whom he told that Johnson had sent him to Europe to see just "two great men-yourself and the Pope." Next day, to his mild discomfiture, Goldberg found himself seeing British Prime Minister Harold Wilson on L.B.J.'s sudden order.

"I give the other teams one more year before they catch...
...distinct personality, a warmth. Dependable, forgiving, attentive, gracious and benevolent." What sounds like a paraphrase of the Boy Scout oath is the authors' sentimental tribute to an airplane, the DC-3, the twin-engine, 190 m.p.h. prop-driven craft that first flew 30 years ago and has entered Valhalla under its own power. Of the 10,000 built from 1936 to 1946, some 5,000 are still in the air, faithfully serving 174 airlines in 70 countries. In the heart of the jet age, the DC-3 still accounts for nearly one-third of the world...
