...minute documentary being shown at Radio City Music Hall during the Christmas season. Charting the highlights of five decades, it describes how TIME as well as other innovative magazines reported on the communications explosion while also contributing to it. Today little happens in the world that the public cannot hear immediately, see within hours, and begin to comprehend within days. When TIME began, in March 1923, this was not so. The film was prepared by our Promotion staff for educational and business audiences. We are delighted that it has proved to be of broader interest than we originally anticipated...
...implications of the story grew, everyone got very busy. The Army decided that it would indeed hold a public court-martial for Calley. It seems certain that Sergeant Mitchell will face a court-martial on charges of intent to murder some 30 Vietnamese. The biggest mystery so far is why no charges have been placed against Captain Medina, who played an important role in the slaughter by the accounts of a number of his men, though exactly what orders he issued is disputed (see The Legal Dilemmas, page 32).

Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs is one of Washington's trickier jobs-explaining Foggy Bottom to the press and country at large. It is an office that has been vacant since the Johnson Administration left town. Now President Nixon has found a man with a delicate touch to take on the assignment: Apollo 11 Astronaut Michael Collins, who minded the command module while Comrades Armstrong and Aldrin descended for the moon landing. Though the post usually goes to a newsman, Collins believes he has some unique qualifications for the task. "We can talk very clearly from...
