...more frequent for TIME: the opening of a new printing plant. For the past 15 years, the magazine's Asian editions have been printed in Tokyo, and distributed by air to readers in Hong Kong and throughout Southeast Asia. In some cases, that meant a time-consuming haul of more than 4,000 miles. With the new plant in full operation (at least 100,000 copies of the magazine each week), Hong Kong area readers will get their TIME considerably earlier than before...

The railroad denies it, but is un able to supply any budget figures. Bos ton's creaky commuter lines - the New Haven and the Boston & Maine - re quire huge state subsidies...

Along with its big, intercity trunk air lines and its smaller, regional carriers, the U.S. has still another kind of air service-and it is the fastest-growing of all. More than 4,000 short-haul outfits will carry about 725,000 passengers this year in small planes that fly between convenient downtown airports or to and from smaller towns and cities. For years the lines have been known rather ingloriously as "third-level carriers," but their safety standards have often been so third-rate that some customers call them "white-knuckle airlines...

They share the title of world's biggest tanker-but not for long. A tanker with a capacity of 372,000 deadweight tons (d.w.t.) will float out of a Japanese yard in 1971. Thereafter? Shipbuilders can make a tanker as capacious as anybody wants, but the idea hardly enchants them. They have problems enough building anything above...
