I wonder if you read in our Letters column not so long ago the letter from the editors of the Norwegian underground newspaper Kronniken?

It told how they were translating and reprinting TIME's stories to give thousands of loyal Norwegians just about the only un-Goebbeled news of the world they get these days--and it started me thinking about some of the other far places where the local papers are getting news from TIME.

For TIME has come to be such a truly international magazine (now that we are publishing special editions on every continent except Antarctica) that stories based on TIME are appearing in such unlikely papers as Yi Shih Pao of Chungking--En Son Dakika of Turkey, Min Juo Jih Pao of Nanning, Le Combattant (Journal Officiel de I'Association des Anciens Combattants et Victimes de la Guerre du Maroc) published in Casablanca--and even in papers like the Berliner Borzen-Zeitung, Ncues Wiener Tagblatt and the Rheinische-Westfalische Zeitung (which pick up the news from TIME's Stockholm Edition and sneer at the truth in it).

Probably your Chinese and your Turkish and your German are about like mine--but I thought you might be interested in seeing how some of these stories look.
