...slightest slight did TIME intend to put on Mr. Robertson, but TIME does not know the addresses of its newsstand buyers. Though admission to the library is by card only, he or any other newsstand buyer of TIME can obtain a guest card by writing to TIME'S Chicago office (330 East 22d Street). He will find a few exhibits, no dancing girls, no glimpses of the World of Tomorrow-just a cool roomy place high above the city where he can 1) meet his friends, 2) read his hometown newspaper, 3) write his letters, 4) see television...

In 1938, business was good, Comet grossed "closer to $1,000,000 than $500,000," expects to pass the $1,000,000 mark...
...high holiday humor, this bright, fast, pert reporting rollicks along almost as if there were no war in China. Messrs. Auden & Isherwood are right in their element describing such Alice in Wonderland scenes from topsy-turvy Chinese life as two old men gravely trying to put a rat in a bottle, a woman tirelessly pouring water through a sieve. More startling than anything they report about the East is what they report, often unconsciously, about themselves. Their own honest verdict on Au Dung and Y Hsiao Wu: ". . . though we wear out our shoes walking the slums, though we take notes...
