...Marx Brotherhood. Plodding on through the Northern farm states and into the Northwest, Kefauver worked hard at flushing out the voters, but was sublimely oblivious to the fact that his caravan seemed to be in the hands of the anarchical Marx brothers. Nothing seemed to go right. Suitcases were lost, people missed the plane. Top Aide J. Howard McGrath, his sodden cigar clamped in his jaw, once absentmindedly darted into a ladies' room; local leaders along the route were frequently unprepared for the Keef's arrival-late as it invariably was. There was something of the horse-drawn...
...trouble was caused, oddly enough, by an obscure book published in the U.S. 14 years ago. One day last month a rabble-rousing Moslem editor named Ishaq Almi from Kanpur in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, chanced to find on a newsstand a cheap Indian reprint of Living Biographies of Religious Leaders by Henry and Dana Lee Thomas.

These bring the number of part-time correspondents (in addition to TIME'S three full-time bureaus in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal) to an all-time high...
...genius. Collins has captured 80% of the U.S. commercial-airlines market and 60% to 70% of the free-world foreign market in airborne electronics, i.e., equipment for navigation, instrument landing, flight direction, automatic piloting, weather radar. His equipment operates along the U.S.'s and Canada's far northern Distant Early Warning (DEW) line. His young company, which grew from a gross of $722,000 in 1940 to $123 million in fiscal 1956, has bounced radio beams off the moon, shot a high-frequency TV beam 800 miles around the curvature of the earth to bring man closer...
