With such help, plus the advantage of one of the fastest aircraft now flying, Lieut. Gustav B. Klatt, 29, set a new 2,419-mile west-to-east record of 3 hr. 5 min. 39.2 sec., landed at New Jersey's McGuire A.F.B. Captain Robert M. Sweet, 30, flying nonstop round trip (4,838 miles), broke the east-to-west record (despite 40-to-150-m.p.h. head winds) in 3 hr. 34 min. 8.8 sec. When he blinked past his home base, Sweet clocked a round-trip record-6 hr. 42 min. 6.7 sec.-averaging 721.9 m.p.h...

In the Democratic wings, just waiting for the right cue to go onstage, is a whole troupe of possible candidates: New Jersey's Governor Robert Meyner, with a big win under his belt; Texas' Senator Lyndon Johnson, who has yet to extend his vast Senate prestige to the outside world; Missouri's Senator Stuart Symington, ready, in Sputnik's day, to cash in on five years of criticizing...
...Murphy's Outhouse. From Southern California's sprawling super-metropolis to the exurbs of New Jersey and Long Island, the middleweights give readers a commodity that increasingly defies the resources of the big-city daily: intensive home-town coverage plus an increasingly sophisticated coverage of world affairs. Now a giant among examples of the trend, Alicia Patterson's broadly curious, ad-fat Newsday (TIME. Sept. 13, 1954) has scooped 268,626 Long Island readers right out of the pants pockets of New York City's seven major dailies since 1940. Under the guns of Los Angeles...
