"Marvels of technique and characterization," wrote the Jerusalem Post of some of the paintings, adding cheerfully about certain others: "Kitsch does not always make a bad cover." The critic of Beirut's French-language paper L'Orient-Le Jour called TIME "a culture by itself" with "an influence as strong as a tidal wave."

In England, vast quantities of dogfish, a small shark, are sold in fish-and-chips shops...
...know that there are women coal miners? Novice Miner Susan Miller, 25, says cold cash prompted her descent from a sewing-machine factory into the depths of Freeman United Coal Mining Co.'s Orient 6 mine at Waltonville, Ill. For her $42.75 daily trainee's pay, double her former earnings, Miner Miller works the coal belt, builds support partitions and sprays rock dust to prevent fires from coal fumes.
