While the convention chairmen are calling the roll these weeks, the thought comes to mind that TIME calls the roll of states (and, indeed, of many foreign lands) every week-with facts about important and fascinating facets of life. A partial roll call from this issue...
Said Dale of his list: "I shall not add at this point, as the alarmist school customarily does, that this is 'only a partial list,' because it is all I can think of. I have a hunch that their 'partial' lists are all they can think of too, but let that...
Last week Radio Moscow admitted that moisture conditions in the Caucasus and southern Ukraine were the worst since 1928, conceded that in places a third of the winter wheat was destroyed and would need to be replanted for even a partial harvest.
