...they gathered material for this -"-week's cover story, The Plight of the U.S. Patient, TIME correspondents across the nation found that in many cases their own experiences with medicine and medical men belonged in their files. From Portland, Ore., where he came down with symptoms suggesting Hong Kong flu, Reporter David Rorvik wired a wry account of the difficulties of locating a hotel doctor. He dialed room service by mistake, and his vociferous complaints were interpreted as a slur on the hotel's cuisine. Washington Correspondent David Lee made the mistake of lighting a cigarette while...

Bodies were coming out of the fireball." Another explosion knocked the canopy off his plane. Then, "like a hand picking me up and lifting me out, another blast blew me out of the plane."

Although only 5% of the population is literate, some 1,600 youngsters have been or are being educated abroad, and Tubman says ruefully...
...Great Tree. His open-door economic policies have brought relative progress to Liberia. Foreign investment now amounts to nearly $750 million-mostly in iron ore, rubber and commercial banking. Tubman checks economic performance continually: an old law still on the books has it that all government expenditures of more than $200 must be approved by the President, and the President spends hours every week poring over the ledgers. As a result, important government work tends to be held...
