...years ago, TIME ran a story about Miles College, a small but proud Negro institution near Birmingham, Ala., that was in financial difficulties. Partly as a result of the article, contributions came in from all over the world, helping Miles to recover. The reporter on that story was the late Harry Johnston, TIME'S Atlanta bureau chief. When Harry died at 48 four months ago, his many friends at Miles discussed what sort of tribute to pay him. "Harry was not the kind of guy you sent flowers to," recalls Trustee Mrs. David Roberts III. "So I said...
Central feature of Alaska-67 is a 15panel re-creation of the "Big Stampede" of gold miners focusing on Felix ("Pedro") Pedroni, an Italian immigrant who in 1902 made the first strike in the hills above Fairbanks. It also traces -of course-the peregrinations of Alaska's late poet laureate, Robert W. Service, who wrote: "This is the Law of the Yukon, that only the strong shall thrive...
Four Possibles. The stress on the nuts and bolts is neither by chance nor, of late, altogether by choice.

The noncombat loss of so many planes compares in military aviation only with the Luftwaffe's own horrendous record in the late 1930s, when it lost 572 aircraft in 1938 alone, including the mass crash of 31 Stuka dive bombers that blindly followed a flight leader through the clouds and smack into the ground...
Radio Bucharest last week played a tune that is becoming all too familiar in Eastern Europe. In scolding tones, it took Rumania's factory and office workers to task for "unexpected absences, temporary disappearances from the job, late starting and early finishing, too many conferences during working hours, and too much time spent on social activities on the job." At about the same time, Poland's Communist daily, Trybuna Ludu, warned Polish workers to lay off card playing and vodka drinking during working hours-practices that it charged are widespread. Reporting the "agony" of watching workers standing around...
