TIME'S four-color picture stories are the product of long, painstaking research and planning by editors, correspondents and photographers. This week's color story in Art on Libya's lost city of Leptis Magna started as usual-but did not end that way. The editors decided that Leptis Magna would be a good color subject, gathered a fat file of material on the lost city, considered what photographer would be best for the job, asked the Rome bureau to check whether any photographer there had taken any color pictures of the place that might serve...
...machines that had brought complaints from owners. Last week Hotpoint's 11,000 appliance dealers were busy doing just that-at a cost that the industry estimates will be somewhere between $7 million and $10 million by year's end.

...less serious but more widely ballyhooed British dance product was also on display in London last week: the first ballet of Playwright Noel Coward, titled London Morning. The 32-minute work was commissioned by Britain's Festival Ballet and was suggested to him, said Coward solemnly, by the nursery jingle, "Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?"

An earlier product of his apostasy is Anatomy of a Moral, 18 casual essays written for two of Belgrade's leading journals when Djilas was still the party's Red-haired boy. The speculations begin...
...that many Washington economists now expect it to pass the half-trillion mark before mid-1960. Behind this confidence was the economy's amazing expansion so far this year. Estimates last week of the growth that took place in the April-June quarter showed that the gross national product annual rate rose $12 billion over the first quarter, $5 billion more than expected. Added to a $14 billion gain in the January-March quarter, this made a rise in the annual rate of $26 billion in six months, close to the $30 billion the President and his advisers predicted...
