Chicago Correspondent Margo Parish was asked to try out the University of Illinois' "stuttering" machine, which mixes up the subject's reactions by playing his words back to him a fraction of a second after he has uttered them. "Are there any lasting effects from the experiment?" our query asked. She tried the machine, determined to show what self-control would do. "I started yapping gaily about TIME reporters being expendable," she related, "when the delaying action was switched on. Try as I might, I stammered, stuttered, strained, perspired, got red in the face and finally begged them...
...first time he had gone to Dash-ti-Margo (Desert of Death) and discovered a dead city, forgotten by the modern world (TIME, Nov. 7, 1949). This time, accompanied by his bride of five days, Anthropologist Fairservis revisited the same mysterious area of southwest Afghanistan. Near the Bolan Pass, the expedition, came across its first big find: 36 sites which yielded pottery of a hitherto unknown type. On the bottom of many of the pieces were mysterious little signs, some 30 different ones, that look as if they might be the beginnings of an alphabet. Some of the sites, Fairservis...

After a while the play shifts to farcical romance between an engaged Natchez belle and an enraged Yankee writer whose book Natchez has banned. But the satire keeps on recurring with the monotonous regularity of a lone rider on a merry...
...shrunken modern world still has pockets of mystery. One of the most mysterious is the Dash-ti-Margo (Desert of Death) in southwestern Afghanistan, where the summer heat rises to 125° F., and the sand-laden wind reaches 90 m.p.h. Last week Anthropologist Walter A. Fairservis of New York City's American Museum of Natural History told how in the midst of Dash-ti-Margo he and two associates had come upon a dead city forgotten by the modern world...
