THIS week it is the Berlin wall. 1 Last week it was the flight of Russia's space twins. Fortnight ago, it was Senator Byrd's family tree. Week after week, Robert M. Chapin Jr. seeks vivid new pictorial ways to illustrate the news. He has been doing it for 25 years for TIME. Beginning as a one-man operation, Chapin now has a staff of six, including Artists Vincent Puglisi and Jere Donovan, to turn out an average of six to eight maps, charts, drawings and diagrams weekly. A few years back, Walter W. Ristow...

Though it lost all its workers who lived in East Berlin, the electrical industry-which accounts for 30% of West Berlin output-has hardly skipped a beat since the Wall went up just one year ago. Of course some of West Berlin's stimulus is artificial: tax concessions from the Bonn government and wage levels that are lower than in West Germany even make it profitable to barge raw steel into the city from the West, shape it into...
Encouraged by the continuing prospect of real movies made for the wall-to-wall screen and shown at ear-to-ear prices, dozens of key theaters are currently converting to the system-at a cost that ranges from $175,000 to $500,000 a theater. By year's end, 60 of them will be open in the U.S. and some 40 more in other countries...
