...opposed to what its press agents boast and its critics suspect, correspondents headed for the hinterland to see young people on the job. John Blashill sought out Peace Corpsmen upcountry in Chile and Colombia; Lee Griggs interrupted his watch on the uneasy Congo to fly to Tanganyika, and Herman Nickel from Johannesburg turned up with Peace Corpsmen in Nigeria.
