...heavy artillery from base to battlefield in minutes, giving them the advantages of surprise and flexibility. Tactical air strikes scraped guerrillas off jungled ridges, buried them in mazelike tunnels, or kept them forever on the run. Unheard from the ground, giant B-52s of the Strategic Air Command pattern-bombed the enemy's forest hideaways, leaving no sanctuary inviolable...
WITH the beginning of the new year, TIME'S guaranteed circulation in the U.S. reaches another new high: 3,300,000 copies a week, some 200,000 more than a year ago. This step-up fits a long-term pattern of steady growth, which has been accelerating in the past decade.

The new circulation base marks an increase of 65% in ten years...

Disraeli might proclaim that "almost everything that is great has been done by youth...
...true that he gave his famous lecture, "Acres of Diamonds," 6,000 times and received $8,000,000 for doing so. The really significant fact is, however, that he gave away the $8,000,000 to educate promising young people. Taking as his life's pattern the three-fold emphasis he found in the life of Christ, "preaching, teaching and healing," he helped found an outstanding church, a great university and three hospitals...
