That was where this particular color story took a different turn. To their surprise, the editors found that Reporter Guzzardi's pictures had no technical faults, were as good as any specialist could be expected to take. No professional photographer, Guzzardi reported that he had used a seven-year-old camera. His three pages of color pictures are an amateur's professional triumph...
...foreign-aid time, there are few sharper antagonists in the House than Louisiana Democrat Otto Passman and Minnesota Republican Walter Judd-Passman passionately against, Judd dourly for. Louisiana's Passman, 59, onetime refrigerator distributor and World War II Navy materiel and procurement officer, seven-term Congressman and Appropriations Committee axman, is an acknowledged expert who knows how to find every foreign-aid dollar in every foreign-aid pipeline and how to take maximum debating advantage thereof.

...tour indeed had its trials. Despite a handsome time advantage in filing-seven hours in Moscow, eleven in Novosibirsk-many dispatches missed their U.S. deadlines because of interminable, often unexplained Red-tape delays. Correspondents found that the only sure way to get copy back home was by telephone: the Associated Press held one circuit seven hours-at $3 a minute, or $1,260 worth-to assure prompt coverage of Nixon's long talk with Khrushchev at the Premier's dacha outside Moscow...
