...color. In recent weeks, they have been working closely with Louis Glessmann, TIME'S new art director. Much effort, of course, is geared to fast-breaking news stories. Improved communications and technology enable TIME'S production department, headed by Charles Jackson, to close color layouts as late as Saturday morning and still meet the magazine's deadline that night. Thus TIME has featured pages of color on the Apollo 11 triumph, President Nixon's whirlwind tour of Europe and Asia, Pope Paul's African visit and the fantastic Woodstock rock festival. For TIME...
Jack Kerouac's "barbaric yawp" broke into the American consciousness in the middle years of Eisenhower.

The dead in the creek in Nam Hoa district belonged to a group of 398 men from the Hue suburb of Phu Cam.

Republican eyebrows rose when Gerry Van der Heuvel, a journalist and close friend of the Hubert Humphreys, was named Pat Nixon's press secretary. Her former colleagues were even more distressed when press releases were late and uninformative. Now Gerry is moving to Rome as special assistant to U.S. Ambassador Graham Martin. In her place the First Lady has named Connie Stuart, a pert redhead who at 31 is one of the youngest ever to handle the White House job. Connie met the Nixons last year when her husband, also a presidential staffer, was doing yeoman campaign work around...
