London Bureau Chief Andre Laguerre, just back in England from a visit to New York, notes that this trip marked his 29th transatlantic flight on business for TIME.

Says Bonn's Frank White: "This is just our 'commuting mileage,' not including flights on military planes or the deliriously rare flight home."

Opening-night number: a full-length version of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, with sparkling new costumes and scenery and changes in the choreography which lengthened the 58-year-old masterpiece to a full four acts...
...fine points of low-pressure selling. They also learn to treat all customers alike, never knowing which unlikely looking shopper may prove to be the biggest spender. Once a girl in a sunbonnet and cotton dress came into Neiman's for a complete outfitting on her first visit to Dallas. In a few hours, she spent $10,000 of her father's new oil wealth. The last thing Neiman's sold her was a pair of shoes for her bare feet...
