...after Congress voted to make Alaska the 49th state, TIME also made a decision: open an Alaska bureau. Onto the masthead this week goes the new listing, ANCHORAGE, 18th TIME bureau in North America. To report Alaska's "stir and throb that reaches far beyond the cities, into the tundra, across the forbidding mountains and glaciers into the valleys" (TIME, June 9), Bill Smith. 28, a spring-legged, outdoor-loving correspondent in our Los Angeles bureau, moved up to Anchorage. From his base in Alaska's busiest city (pop. 35,000), Bachelor Smith will roam the new state...
Sometimes just to declare Christian doctrine can shock and stir bitter debate-even among Christians. Last week Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, the Archbishop of Canterbury, did just that. Asked to comment on a tract by Author Philip Toynbee (who argued that nuclear destruction was so terrible that the only solution was immediate disarmament and peace with the Russians on any terms, even surrender), the Archbishop had replied with a tart reminder that man cannot live by dread alone.

The department denied Dawson a visa-"for a strictly medical reason," which it refused to disclose. The reason: pulmonary tuberculosis, diagnosed by a U.S. Public Health physician who examined Dawson, 68, in London. Dawson's British physicians disagree with the diagnosis, have given him a clean bill of health, which he still hopes may change the State Department's mind...
...Harris, a heavyweight (6 ft., 195 Ibs.) from Cut and Shoot, Texas, has fought 22 professional bouts and won them all, but he has never been seen either on TV or outside Texas. Last week, to stir the nation's interest in the new contender for the heavyweight crown (he is due to fight Champion Floyd Patterson in Los Angeles on Aug. 18), TelePrompTer Corp. offered a Texas junket to some of Yankeeland's top sportswriters. What the ringside pros saw left them happy, dazed, full of copy, and fat pigeons for TelePrompTer's pressagents...
