Right now Aldridge is assigned to Teheran in Persia at Russia's back door-with a beat that might call for his jumping almost a thousand miles west to Aleppo or south to the Indian Ocean. Last month he took a 560-mile trip north to the Caspian and the Soviet border-along the dusty, rutted highway that is now Russia's "Burma Road." Near the Lake of Urmia, at Tabriz, he saw U.S. sergeants more than 12,000 miles from home helping Soviet workmen assemble army trucks-later talked with Red Army officers and men moving around...
...Back in Teheran, Aldridge was at the airport when Wendell Willkie and TIME correspondent Hart Preston flew in. He had a long talk with the globe-girdling Middle Westerner at the U.S. Embassy-sent us three cables filled with color and facts to document TIME'S stories on Willkie's stay in the Middle East...
...Shah, set up a pro-Anglo-Russian rule, restored the name Persia. U.S. military men are also in Persia, but they are not yet an army.

"Say, aren't we flying rather close?" he asked. Vanderkloot answered: "About a thousand feet." "Those peaks," said Churchill, "would look better from higher up." The bomber picked up another thousand feet...
Last month a little tin box, no more than five inches around, arrived in the U.S. In it were 100 feet of microfilm-the photographed score of the Seventh Symphony. It had been carried by plane from Kuibyshev to Teheran, by auto from Teheran to Cairo, by plane from Cairo to New York. Photographers went to work printing from the film. In ten days they reproduced four fat volumes, 252 pages in all, of orchestral score...
