TIME'S four-color picture stories are the product of long, painstaking research and planning by editors, correspondents and photographers. This week's color story in Art on Libya's lost city of Leptis Magna started as usual-but did not end that way.

Coolly eyeing Bevan, Lennox-Boyd said he was prepared to match this against any record Parliament might make in the future, "if ever, which is most unlikely, the desiccated calculating machine on his right [Opposition Leader Hugh Gaitskell] formed an administration...
...emotional indictment, Kassem wound up the press conference by saying that military press censorship would be lifted for one day so that Baghdad papers could report the press conference as they wished. He would be interested to see what would appear. With that, Kassem, without a smile, departed. As usual, crowds on Rashid Street dogtrotted beside his familiar Chevrolet station wagon, cheering, applauding and chanting praiseful slogans.
