Strollers wear jingle bells at their ankles, beads or flowers at their throats, and strum guitars or tootle flutes. It is not rare to see a Haight Street hippie put a dime in a parking meter, then flake out along the curb for a legal dose of sun tan. Wall posters, in the style of China's Red Guard movement, abound-most of them signed "Love" or "Peace" and bearing such timeless messages as "Gypsy come home-your mother is pushed out of shape...
...years, FORTUNE was more or less a journal of discovery, but the length of the Depression (TIME's editors had felt that "it may last as long as a year") prompted it to begin a study of the stricken economy.

Painful Decision. Luce's greatest postwar sorrow was the fall of China to the Communists in 1949.

On another Sunday, the congregation of Cincinnati's St. Timothy's Episcopal Church was startled when one parishioner got up to leave in the middle of the sermon by the Rev. John Wesley Bishop. "Why are you leaving?" Bishop asked. "Because...
...Sadler doesn't take a step without offerings a 2000-word discourse on where he is going and where he has come from. He visits the Alamo; three pages on the history of Texas. On the Alamo's wall is a plaque recalling the battle of Thermopylae: two pages on the history of Greece. Sadler gets tattooed: a page noting everyone from Field Marshal Montgomery to Winston Churchill's mother who had a tattoo...
