...National Association of Home Builders, that TIME told about in BUSINESS in the Oct. 27 issue. Hardly had the magazine reached subscribers when the mail began to pour in-from 49 states, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Some builders did not bother to write; they simply hopped a plane and flew in. The flood of mail increased-from the West Indies, Venezuela, Colombia, British Honduras, Britain, France, Germany and as far away as New Zealand. Bartling does not know when he can get around to answering all the inquiries, but he's glad that...

Pat Nixon explained why the girls were there: "We figure this is an educational trip. They've been studying about Alaska." The Vice President was there for another reason. With the campaign for this week...
Fredericus U J.H. Witte is a Dutchman bothered by taxes. When he sees a jet fighter plane overhead he thinks to himself: "During my whole lifetime I won't earn half of what that plane costs." On the bitter morning in February 1957 when The Netherlands' bureaucracy finally produced his 1955 tax bill, Witte exploded in anger. As an assistant bookkeeper for a Rotterdam housing association, Witte, 57, was sure of his own figures. The tax collector, he fumed, had made a mistake...
