Ramon Magsaysay flew whenever he could, at any time and in any weather. He shrugged off protests impatiently; any other way wasted time, and he was a man in a hurry. Last Saturday Magsaysay flew down to Cebu. He talked at three universities, to the local war veterans, to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Then he decided to fly back to Manila that night...

It is intended to blend late evening news coverage into one program which presents a unified approach to events ranging from the strictly local to the international.
