THIS week it is the Berlin wall. 1 Last week it was the flight of Russia's space twins. Fortnight ago, it was Senator Byrd's family tree. Week after week, Robert M. Chapin Jr. seeks vivid new pictorial ways to illustrate the news. He has been doing it for 25 years for TIME. Beginning as a one-man operation, Chapin now has a staff of six, including Artists Vincent Puglisi and Jere Donovan, to turn out an average of six to eight maps, charts, drawings and diagrams weekly. A few years back, Walter W. Ristow...

His acquaintance with both places should be useful: AMF faces an antitrust accusation of conspiring to restrain competition in the bowling industry, and a slowdown in its military contracting helped to cut AMF's first half-year sales 11%, to $185 million. Burgess, once president of Trans World...
Hamburg's influential daily. Die Welt, had called him "the favorite child of West Germany's economic miracle." Fortnight ago, shortly after he had startled West Germany by admitting that he could not meet July's bills (TIME. Aug. 3), Industrialist Willy Schlieker, 48, was declared bankrupt by a Hamburg court. Up for liquidation was Schlieker's entire domain of 23 shipbuilding, steelmaking and trading companies that grossed $200 million last year...
