Down the Line. Before Formosa his trip had been little short of historic. The first U.S. Secretary of State to travel in continental Asia, he began by flying from the SEATO conference in Bangkok (TIME, March 7) to neutral Burma (where Premier U Nu received him with considerably more coolness than he had shown to Red China's Chou En-lai eight months before). After a day in Burma, he traded his big Constellation for a lighter C-47, so he could land in the Indo-China kingdom of Laos. Cambodia came next day; there he listened attentively...
...Panama, where a determined tourist can pick up the road after a sea trip, has a road of varying quality to the canal. Beyond lies the forbidding Darien country-400 miles of lofty jungles, wide rivers and spiny mountains not yet even surveyed...
When Princess Margaret arrived back in Great Britain from her Caribbean tour last week, palace press officials breathed a sigh of relief.

His mother has died during a trip to Spain, and he is brought up under the gimlet eye and Puritan maxims of a crabby maiden aunt. In Paris, he holes up in a studio and paints, but he gets panned by the critics. Wyatt is soon back in a Greenwich Village flat with a draftsman's job and a possessive wife just out of analysis. He sheds his wife, and sells himself into esthetic and moral...
