...preparation for the Rivera story, TIME'S Art editor, Alexander Eliot, and Researcher Ruth Brine went to Mexico City to spend ten days with him.

Government officials show up regularly at the Rangoon Turf Club to instill public confidence, badly shaken by the sound of gunfire from the Insein front ten miles away. Last week racegoers gossiped hopefully of the current visit of P.V.O.
