With that in mind, 33 U.S. corporate, civic and university leaders joined 21 editors, correspondents and executives from Time Inc. for a 17-day tour of China, Viet Nam, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Hong Kong. Time planned the expedition in the spirit of its nine previous Newstours: to give each of its guests a journalist's-eye view of a vital part of the world. Since the first Newstour in 1963, Time groups have been to 37 countries, but never the People's Republic of China. This initial visit occurred at a propitious time: China has introduced...
More than two decades ago, TIME inaugurated its Newstour, an event in which U.S. corporate, philanthropic and educational leaders take on the role of guest journalists, interviewing key personalities in nations that are in the news. A Newstour in 1978 covered 8,000 miles in the Middle East and Africa; three years later the destinations were Eastern Europe and the Middle East; in 1983, Mexico and Panama. TIME has also reversed the process: in May 1981 the magazine arranged for 22 leading European and South African businessmen to meet U.S. policymakers in Washington. Last week, in a similar exercise, TIME...

...remarks appear in this week's World section. In addition to meeting the President and presenting him with a glass eagle as a memento of the occasion, the group talked with the ministers of Foreign Affairs, Interior, and Finance, and the Director of Foreign Investments. The Newstour then visited a dusty slum area south of Mexico City, lunched with leaders of the P.R.I., Mexico's dominant political party, and dined at the Mexico City Museum while watching members of the famed Ballet Folklórico de Mexico perform dances from different periods of the country's history...
...Nicaragua, a leftist opposition spokesman from Guatemala, and a dedicated, intelligent advocate for the Salvadoran insurgents, Rubén Zamora. While in Panama, the party was briefed by Lieut. General Wallace H. Nutting, head of the U.S. Southern Command. A visit to the Canal was especially meaningful for one Newstour participant, Veteran Negotiator Sol Linowitz, who helped accomplish the return of that waterway to Panama. Later, at lunch, President Ricardo de la Espriella and Foreign Minister José Amado III presented Linowitz with the Order of Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, Panama's highest honor, for his efforts...
