...cake, a publication is shaped as much by what is left out as by what is put in. Trying to tell a week's history in an average 44 pages, TIME'S editors must be, above everything else, selective. Other magazines-even newsmagazines-often rigidly cast their mold way ahead of the breaking news. While a great many TIME stories are the result of careful ad vance planning, all are flexible and subject to the changing pressures of events right down to press time-and occasionally beyond. The result is a form of weekly evolution in which only...
...stickler for perfect attendance, she set an alltime record with her presence at 1,590 consecutive Senate roll call votes. In all that time, she has refused to settle into any political mold, has crossed party lines again and again, views herself as a Republican who is "still to the right of Rockefeller and to the left of Goldwater."

Even more novel is the artificial grass of the court itself. It is made by a Japanese patented process originally devised for doormats.

But where shopgirls are uniformly stocky, black-haired, pertly dark-eyed and, no matter how unpretty, filled with a lively charm, concierges have pulled-back hair, grey skin and grey souls. The typical concierge wears round-frame glasses, black stockings, a shapeless dress and old felt slippers, and, in the profane opinion of most Parisians, is rude, inquisitive, grasping, lazy, and brimming with malign gossip...
...also something more than the mere sum of his praise and criticism. He is a throwback to the classic American individualist, a mold which produced Thomas Edison and Thoreau-men with the fresh eye that cannot be done. What Fuller sees excites him with the vision of man's potentialities, and he has made it his mission to help man to realize them. Says he: "Man knows so much and does so little." Last week this crackpot stepped off the plane in London, spouting words the minute his feet touched ground, and headed for a dinner in his honor...
