...good journalist knows what maps are for. You Crosshatch the Congo, underline Berlin, point an arrow at Viet Nam and - voild - an instant rundown of the world's trouble spots. Regular readers of the Sunday New York Times, for example, feel cheated when the ominous-looking Times map of the world shows fewer than a dozen diagonally shaded peril points or a score of fat, black arrows to denote developing crises. But the fact was that last week it was hard to add up all the trouble spots without a cartographer's score card...
Without a map and pointer, President Johnson had to resort to statistics to illustrate just what an ornery place the world was. In no fewer than "eight different situations," he told a White House press conference, the U.S. had "demonstrated anew" its determination to keep the peace.

G.E. is producing switches and circuit breakers. Sperry Rand is making electric shavers. Maidenform is making bras, and Brunswick, sporting goods. This summer Ford will open a $15 million precision ballbearing factory near San Juan. To keep the momentum going, Puerto Rico is stretching tax exemptions to 17 years in some cases, plans to build small manufacturing plants on its own, then find companies...
...terms. He not only learned Hindi and Urdu, as did most other missionaries, but dressed in Indian clothes, openly sided with the independence movement. Today Jones finds that the spiritual gap between East and West has narrowed mightily. "We used to say that the mission field was on the map, but now I know it is in the heart," he says...
