...cite many examples, such as the roving missionary in Tanganyika who would be disappointed not to get our current issue on his weekly shopping trip to Dar es Salaam. British commercial travelers, returning from the Far East with a great hunger for the latest news of the Suez crisis, are delighted to find TIME in the bustling Arabian Sea port of Aden. And at Bishoftu, Swedish airmen training Ethiopian air force crews can now read the news of the world in TIME long before hometown newspapers reach them...

He agreed last week to extend his personal barnstorming to Pittsburgh-because pockets of unemployment in Western Pennsylvania represent a danger to Republican candidates, particularly Senator James H.

...trip has been dogged by mishaps, bungles, delays and breakdowns, from the plane's mimeograph machine to the press bus, which left the newsmen on an Oregon roadside thumbing rides to the Portland airport. One unscheduled dash in Michigan sent the party on a breakneck 82-mile round-trip drive to the Mackinac Straits Bridge, which Governor G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams insisted on showing to Kefauver for the benefit of photographers. A padlock had to be broken before the candidate could get on the structure after nightfall-to greet a crowd of five workmen and one woman...
