ANOTHER innovation in TIME this week is the global year-end review of business. Research for it came from 75 on-the-spot reports from staff correspondents and stringers around the entire world. In past years the review has largely concentrated on the U.S. economy. In 1959 it was apparent that the most interesting economic story of the year was the vast spread of U.S. ideas and U.S. methods to the world, not only to the already industrialized nations of Europe, but also to scores of underdeveloped lands just beginning the long march to prosperity...
...story, Correspondent George Bookman went on a five-week trip to seven European countries in the course of which he interviewed 96 top government officials, economists and businessmen. His report, bolstered by additional material from TIME'S European and U.S. bureaus, brought into focus a new American-type capitalism that around the world is replacing the old system of cartels and feudal wealth. The Tokyo bureau added the story of Japan's striking progress, while the Hong Kong bureau analyzed the trials, tribulations and triumphs of Southeast Asia.

...President of the U.S. flies homeward this week from his eleven-nation world trip, he brings back snapshot recollections of vivid ceremony and unaffected friendliness.

"I think he's absolutely getting to love this," said a tired staffer. "He doesn't say so, but he'd have to be superhuman not to feel this way." In the third week of his 22,000-mile journey, Dwight Eisenhower indeed was having a wonderful time. In Iran, in Greece...
...Last week Republicanism won. In a heavy turnout for an odd-year election, the voters of the Fourth District gave the Republican candidate, John Kyi, 40, their approval by a solid 2,532 plurality over his Democratic rival, C. (for Charles) Edwin Gilmour, 41. The election fascinated politicos for two reasons: 1) the Fourth District, with a large population of corn-hog farmers and smaller but important groups of factory workers and merchants, is a good litmus for testing the trends of the Farm Belt; 2) only a year ago the district sent the first Democrat in its history...
