Last week our circulation people in New York celebrated the 2,000,000 domestic milestone by inviting a hot jazz combo to the TIME & LIFE Building lobby for a midday jam session. At 540, many expected those electronic units to signal the event by lighting up like a pinball machine in a Saroyan play - but the machines went on unemotionally, clocking their way toward TIME'S third million...
