TIME's growth?its circulation in 1938 had reached 822,670?had its effects on both the magazine and the country. From more or less a pastepot operation in which its writers clipped from newspapers and magazines to sift and organize the news, TIME developed its own news service (its first Washington stringer: Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.), began to be served by the press associations, built up a morgue and reference library, and increasingly depended on its writers' own knowledge for special information and judgments.

There was much furious measuring of type, and once Hurok had to go out, pastepot in hand, and stick the Colonel's name on some three-sheet posters from which it had been omitted. Today Colonel de Basil manages a rival troupe and earthy S. Hurok, who knows what he likes, is final arbiter of the Monte Carlo ballet programs...
