When the Lindblad Explorer entered the harbor of Shanghai at daybreak, three passengers had special reason to stand on the observation deck to command a full view of the city. Senior Writer Michael Demarest, who wrote this week's special report on the People's Republic, was making his first trip to China. The sight, he recalls, was wondrous and unexpected, with "freighters, tankers, junks and sampans set against that immortal skyline." Photographer Carl Mydans and Shelley, his novelist wife, were also thrilled by the panorama, but much of it was familiar to them. As one of LIFE...
MASSACHUSETTS. In perhaps the most consistently liberal state in the nation, Edward J. King, a onetime guard for the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Colts, preached tax-cutting to unseat incumbent Governor Michael Dukakis in the Democratic primary.

The group included TIME Senior Writer Michael Demarest and old China hands Photographer Carl Mydans and his reporter-wife Shelley...
...Manhattan apartment of Publisher Arthur ("Punch") Sulzberger. He can hardly help noticing the typographical error in the paper's logo: Not The New York Times.

Among those reputed to have laid a pencil to the project are Michael Arlen, Carl Bernstein, Nora Ephron, Frances Fitz-Gerald, Jerzy Kosinski, George and Freddy Plimpton, Terry Southern and about three or four dozen other wordsmiths from leading publishing firms, the unemployment rolls and the Times itself. Observed Calvin Trillin, one of the town's few big-time scribes who declined...
