...tour is a unique project designed to provide a group of top U.S. businessmen with an opportunity to gather information and insights into some of the principal countries of the Far East. The fourth such undertaking arranged by TIME since 1963 (the others went to Western Europe and Russia, Asia and Eastern Europe), this year's trip will have carried its participants on a 23,000-mile journey to ten cities in eight Asian countries before ending in the U.S. next week with a White House debriefing by President Nixon...

...favor of confining manned soace flight to the vicinity of the earth, Singer has grander plans.

After Elizabeth had let a few more feelings rise, John asked the group to gather closely around her and softly massage the different parts of her body. The boy took one of her feet and noticed that her eyes were still closed. "Now slowly lift Elizabeth into the air," John said. They did, and began to rock her back and forth. Then, at John's command, they chanted, "OM" seven times, taking deep breaths each time, and chanting this magical word that contains all the sounds of the universe. Seven times they chanted, swaying Elizabeth back and forth like...
