DURING ten years abroad for TIME, Hong Kong Bureau Chief Stanley Karnow has done the basic reporting for cover stories all over the globe (most recently: Ferhat Abbas, Liu Shao-chi, Robert Menzies, Hong Kong). He rates his latest - this week's biography of Laos' King Savang Vatthana and his beleaguered country - as "undoubtedly the most difficult."

In Brazil, Correspondent Jayme Dantas traveled four hours out of Rio de Janeiro to confirm with its proud sire the existence of a single-family population explosion of 36 children...

The surest way to get anything resembling an accurate story was to make a flying circuit of the battle area, and that, as TIME Correspondent Stanley Karnow reported (see FOREIGN NEWS), involved a heart-thumping flight through monsoon storm clouds, hairbreadth nighttime landings on muddy air strips marked only by kerosene pots...
