...raft (modeled after an ancient Peruvian balsa) sighted the first land they had seen since leaving Callao, Peru, three months and 4,100 miles ago (TIME, April 21). It was the island of Puka Puka, easternmost atoll of the Tuamotu archipelago. To the six Scandinavian scientists on the Kon-Tiki, the smudge of land was proof of their theory that ancient, pre-Inca Indians might have traveled across the Pacific from Peru to Polynesia on big, homemade rafts, carried by the south equatorial current. Sailing on, as the Indians may have done, until wind and currents actually cast...
...thump verse Auden has returned to the earliest tradition of English poetry-Anglo-Saxon-for a terseness and toughness that his own poems have lacked since the '30s.

For the first time, too, Auden has created characters who are not only types...
...seagoing raft Kon-Tiki, modeled after an ancient Peruvian balsa, is carrying six Scandinavian adventurer-anthropologists on a voyage of historical induction (TIME, April 21). After four days of radio silence, the raft was heard from again last week. Present position: about 1,300 miles east of the Marquesas. For a fortnight after the Kon-Tiki left Callao, Peru, the Peru current carried it northwest nearly to the equator. Then the south equatorial current and the southeast trade wind took over and pushed the raft due west across the Pacific. Drifting 40 to 50 miles...
...plan, to vaccinate 100,000 U.S. schoolchildren against tuberculosis, has already been begun in Columbus, Ga., will soon move on to T.B. areas in large cities (including San Francisco's Chinatown). U.S. specialists, who have long viewed BCG with suspicion in spite of its prewar successes in the Scandinavian countries, are now more enthusiastic; the San Francisco delegates gave the PHS experiment a hopeful endorsement...
