During a snowfall on the University of Michigan campus, 5,000 students shivered in sleeping bags while waiting in line all night for tickets. In El Paso the fans pored over obituary notices, calling bereaved families in the tiny hope of snapping up the loved one's ticket...
...follow. Under able former Ambassador Thomas C. Mann, who recently moved up to Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (TIME cover, Jan. 31), Mexican-U.S. relations reached a rare high point. The nagging, century-old Chamizal border dispute on the Rio Grande at El Paso, Texas, was amicably settled last year, and the Kennedy visit in 1962 brought vivas and warm abrazos all around. But the U.S. would still like to see a firmer stand by Mexico against Castro's Cuba...
Texas is so big that it is 866 highway miles from El Paso to Orange, more than 800 air miles from Brownsville to the northwest corner of the Panhandle. El Paso is halfway between Houston and Los Angeles. Of Texas' 254 counties, 77 are about the same size as Rhode Island. Its 267,339 square miles are exceeded only by the state of Alaska. Texas has the world's largest vegetable farm (at Edinburg), the nation's deepest hole (a 25,340-foot dry well in Pecos County), even the world's largest factory for medical...
Instant Residence. At the start all seems wondrously easy. The average wife who hates her average husband and has an average competent lawyer, can get on a plane to El Paso, say, and be back home the next day-divorced.

...site of the proposed station was Cook Flat, a bowl-shaped valley in the Davis Mountains of west Texas. This location is roughly 200 miles from the nearest large city, El Paso, and thus relatively free from television and radio broadcasts which might blot out solar signals. Although some man-made radiation does reach Cook Flat, the hills which rise 1500 feet above the valley's floor reduce this interference by a factor of over 100. Eight miles from Cook Flat is the town of Fort Davis (population 600), where the Harvard station has set up offices and dark-rooms...
